MIFFU.NTOWN, Juniata Co., )
Sept, 5, 1856. \
DEAR INQUIRER:—I embrace the pres.
ent moment to let you hear from this part
of the state. The grain crop here has been
an ordinary one. The drought has not pre
yed to much extent, so that the fields
present a green, as well as a beautiful ap
pearance, and promise a rich reward '.©.the
hand of industry. The fruit has been a
failure all but the apples which aregeneral-
ly plenty.
This is our court week iu Juniata, there
is but little business before the court, except
the trial of Stong, • for the murder of De
viney. The circumstances attending the
murder are these. The prisoner and the
diseased lived in Look township, in the up
per end of the county near the borders of
Huntingdon and Franklin counties. On
the 10th ot May 1855, the parties were at
tending a raising at which liquor was free
ly used, when they both became much in
toxicated and commenced quarriling on the
road home which was some time after dark.
At the road where they parted it appears
Stons became much excited an d began to
abuse the company, "saying he could whip
any tnan on the ground." A man Dj the
name ofCamnbell, "said he was able for him
but did not want to fight," at which Stong
pulled off his coat and got a stone to strike
Campbell with, Peviney pulled off his coat
and "said there should be fair play" Stong's
brother then said they would go home, and
laid Lis arm around Deviney's nock, ami j
they started off together. When some five j
or six rods from the road Adorn Stong •
struck Devioey with a stone and broke his j
scull, ami it is supposed jumped upon him :
Deviuev was found there next morning dead. ;
Stong then made his escape and was not j
hoard of until three or lour weeks ago when j
word came that be was in Michigau. The j
Sheriff proceeded thither, had Liui arrested
and brought buck for trial. He was tried j
this court, before his honor judge Graham, j
and found guilty of niurdir in the 2d de- ;
gree, and was sentenced to eight years iu
the penetentTary. The counsel for the
were Alexander Harris and
Andrew Parker, and for the defendant J. ;
D. Shan u aud A. K. M'Clurcof Chambers- j
burg. The - pea kers.ac qui tied themselves :
well. As ihis may perhaps be uniuterost- j
ing to your readers 1 will drop it and tasc j
up arioth* r subject.
Polities is the all absorbing topic he re, (as
I presume it is with you,) and I will try to
give ion the latest political news ID this
county the Old Line Whigs aud Americans
have united, and formed a Union ticke 1
and will sweep the Denocrats like chaff be
fore the whirlwind. List election the A
luerieans carried their county ticket by ma
jorities ranging from 1-15 to 202, and this
fall they intend to increase it as there are
men coming in* o the American Older every
Weli.
The Democrats held a meeting here on
the night of the 3d inst., which was ad
dressed by Wilson Ilei'ily, (to whom I shall
piy my respects,) a mm by the name of Al
len. and a Mr. Sipe. Mr. Rjillj', who was
the principal actor in the Democratic fare®
that came off with so m teh pomposity, on
the night of the 31, is the Democratic uom
iuoe for Congress in the 17th district. He
commenced by telling the quiet citizens ot
•luniata that he was not going ta rnn down
and villify his opponents but by the time
ho got through with his palaver he would
have you believe that the Americans aud
their candidates and his opponents in gene
ral were no belter than the lories of the
Revolution. The Americans, that dark
lantern society, as the speakers were pleas.
o*l to call them, have been in their road in
this county, (and I feel confident will be
again) and they have therefore, I presume,
hut little charity for them. The old line
Whigs lie tried <o soft sodder, and almost
got on his knees to beg their votes, feeliug
"Qrjscious that tbo:r support is his only
means of politi-al salvation, bat. their prin
ciples I presume he relished somewhat like
the man who eat tho crow that waa stuffed
with saw dust. On being asked how he rel
ished it, he replied that he could eat it, but
did not have much kankrnng ajirr it.—
Mr. Reiily was eloquent io praising the oIJ
lino Whiga, in order that by their help ha
might be able to get a seat in the balls of
Congress,but the Whigs of Juniata are of
sterner stuff than to be bought with a few
paltry dollars, which arc circulating so
plentifully in this bounty. I have now
dor.e with Mr. Reilly, it is enough for me
to know that Purntoy stoak was above par
the Dext morning.
I shall now introduce yv to Joseph
Pmaroy, the opposing candidate of the sbanj
Democracy. Mr. Puturcy was formerly a
Whig, hut is now a member of the Ameri
can party, aud sympathizes will ail its prin
ciples. He was hern in Path Vulley,
A Weekly Paper, Devoted to Literature, Politics, the Arts, Sciences, Agriculture, &c., &c—Terms: Two Dollars per annum.
j Franklin eo., and lived iu that county un
j til the last five or six years, when he re
| moveJ io Juniata. Mr. IWoy is one of
those plain, unassuming, intelligent old
farmers that are to be met with. Mr. Pum
roy is a man of strictly moral habits, un
bending integrity, and one who is in every
respect ably and JKOIJ qualified to discharge
the .duties incumbent upon a member of
Congress. He will in this eounty run a
strong vote. The old line Whigs of this
county will vote for him en masse , together
with a number of Democrats who regard
principle more than party. And now in
conclusion I would say to all opposed to the
present corrupt administration to turn out
at the October election, and do your duty
and your whole duty, llest assured that
the Union party of Juniata will not be
found wanting on the day of election.
Yours, truly,
JUNIATUS.

'•Two Trulhs to one Lie."
Mr. EDITOR: —I rejoice to inform you
that some of the Locofocos have got to tel
ling two truths to one lie. Mr. Shannon, in
a political speech at Wallers town, in Union
. Township, a few days ago, ill slandering
I Mr. Griffith, said that when those children
! were lost, Griffith got crazy, and got to
! conjuring, and the witches took him down
to the South Fork, and he waded into the
water up to under his arms, and said the
children were in the water there some
whore that was over waist deep. Mr. Shan
non puts tnc in mind of Sam Hide, an In
dian, who was a noted cider Jiinker, and
catne to a cerfain farmer every day for ci
der, and at last the farmer got tired of it;
so Sam came again one day for cider, and
the farmer told him that he could not give
him any, and the Indian found that he
could got no cider except be couly lie him
out of it, (the way it is with the Locnfoco
party) so he hesitated awhile, and said that
he had shot a deer, not half a mile from the
farmers house, aud if be would give
liirn a dollar, he Would fell hiui where
it was: the farmer s fd lie would not
do tha', hut he would give him a
shilling. '•Well," said Sam, as he was
very diy, "if you give me a shilliug aud a
mug of eider, I will tell you where it is."
So he gave him the shilling and the cider,
ami when he had drank the cider, he said"
"You kuow that little meadow dowu yon
\
der?' "Yes." "You know a big ash
tree?" "Yes." "Well, behind that tree
lies the deer." After Sam was gone the
farmer went to get the doer, and fouud the
meadow aud the tree, but found no Jeer, 1
aud lie was very much displeased, but Sam
was gone, and be might as well hunt the \
deer as to hunt Sam: so he went home, and
sometime afterwards he met Saui and began
to upraid biui for telling him such a lie; so
Sain said, "yon would not find fault with
Indian if he teil you truth half the time."
He said uo. "Well," said Sam, did you
not fiui the -meadow l " "Yes." "Did you
not Gud tree?" "Yes," said the farmer.—
"Then," said the Indian, "how can you find
fault with Sim if he tell two truth to one
lie?" So it is with Mr. Shannon. There
was a mau conjuring and wading iu the wa
ter, and sayingthe children were there, and
his name was Griffith , but it did not bap
pen to be Win. Griffith, and Mr. Shannon
forgot to tell that it was a Mr. Griffith, a
leading Locofoco of Bedford township.

THE STATE ELECTION.
The election in October, which is coming
upon us with silent but rapid strides, is
certainly one of the most important that
the people have ever been called on to en
gage in. The issues involved—the vital
questions to bo definitely settled —the can
didates to he voted for—all demand the
most careful as well as serious considera
tion of every freeman in the Commonwealth.
Every ballot should be cast with a thor
ough understanding of the interests and
principles to be affected by that ballot.—
No man should vote blindly, or according
to the presumptuous dictations of self-con
stituted paity loadeps. The day for such
things has gone by, aud every man should
act without regard to old but servile politi
cal predilections. He should assert, bold"
1} and without fear, the native dignity of
his manhood, and shake off forever the odi
ous bonds and degrading fetters of mere
party drill.
'/n the broad 'field oj battle,
la the bivouac of life —
Be not like dumb driven cattle %
Be a hero in the drift."
Tie result of the October election will
lav© a powerful influence on tie great Pres-
Ment? <1 -ontejt w Member. It will dc-
ciue the fate of James Buchanan, because
it partakes largely of national politics. As
Pennsylvania goes in October, it is fair to
presume it will also go iu November. The
two elections are bound so closely to each
other, that the first, from the very nature of
things, must exercise an immense, if not a
controlling influence on the second. There
fore, the question is not merely whether
the State ticket shall be carried, but wheth
er the State itself shall, through the su
pineness or indifference of our friends, be
deli voted over to the disorgatiizers and the
demagogues who compose the so called
Dcmocrorie party? That this wiil be the
inevitable consequence of a defeat, must be
apparent to every reflecting mind. No !
common efforts, however, have been made
by our opponcuts to disguise this fact.—
With the pertinacity of special pleaders
I they have introduced false issues, for the
purpose of distracting the attention of the
masses and to mislead them. It is time
now that this petty subterfuge should be ex
posed. The people should know that it is
paramount to all things else, that the oppo
nents to the National Administration should
; organize at once, and concentrate their en
j ergirs upon the Union tieket, for upon thi 3
| hangs the destiny of politicut events for
| years yet to come. To all those who are
really and sincerely opposed to the iufamous
outrages perpetrated by the present admin
istration, an excellent opportunity to ex
press that opposition is presented by the
Uuion Ticket. This tickgt was first given
to the people by a Convention composed of
men entertaining various political prefer
ences, and has since been cordially endorsed
by Whigs, Republicans and Americans.—
The adherents of all these parties can unite
in its support without any sacrifice of prin
ciple, and, by uuiting aud acting iu con
cert, can administer a scathing rebuke to
the trimmers and tricksters whose perfidy
and treachery have brought odium upon
our country. To our friends throughout
the County and State, we say work manful
ly, work strongly—work with a hearty good
will, front HOW until the official announce- j
nient shall be made, that the State is ear- !
vied by a majority of fifty thousand!—liar

ISiichauaii and Workingmcn.
A great deal has been said about the
speech of the Democratic candidate for
President, on the subject of the prices of
labor. The English language has Leen per
verted as wall as exhausted in the gigantic
efforts make by his political partisans to
twist that fatuous speech into something like
a defence of the workitigmen. It lias
heco, however, like the labors of Lisyphus
up hill work with them from the begiuuing.
It is undoubtedly the darkest spot of the
ninny dark spots, which mark that gentle
man's entire political career. No ingenui
ty of argmnrnt is sufficient to wipe it out—
uo Soeraiic sophism is subtle enough to
neutralize the bitter sting contained in it.—
It stands upon the record ts indubitable
evidence of James Bucbauau's sympathies
with the aristocracy of wealth, and now ri
ses up in judgement, like a spirit that will
not be exorcised, to blast his high sounding
pretcusious to the Chair of State. That he
advocated the reduction of the wages of
iabor to the hard money currency through
out the world, is not attempted to be denied
by any of his most deluded followers. Now
that standard has been found to be about
TEN CENTS A DAY! We should like
to know, tiow many of the men who till the
soil and drive the looms would consent to
submit tauioly to such a remuneration for
a hard day's wotk? llow many of them
can so far stultify their common sense or
provo recreant to the nobility of their man
hood, as to*bo persuaded into tho belief
that the cuao who could find it in bis heart
to promulgate such a doctrine, can be the
sincere friend to the workinginen? Dema
gogues may be found who will strive to
spread the idea, that this is nothing more
than an electioneering scheme to impose up
on the people. But the proof is at the
command of any man who desires to exara
iue for himself. And after that examina
tion shall be made, we ask the laborer to
inquire what the consequences to himself
and to the class to which he belongs will be
if James Buchanan's theory is reduced to
practice 1 Iu a word, he would be brought
to the level of the unfortunate laborer of
Europe. The American Workingmen caß
not form an adequate conception of their
situation. There is nothing in his own po
sition to which ho can compare it. The
terrible descriptions given by Matthew aud
Kingsley, of the utter want and abject mis
ery which surrounds and crushes out the
very life of the poor uicn of the country,
caunot find their parallel even among the
beggars who orouclt iu hovels and k*unvU
t<> bteld tberoelves from 'b*< wintry bttstS.
BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 12 1856.
I Ten cents a day may be enough to keep
body and soul together, and hardly enough
for that; but it will not feed a wife or tush
! the hungry clamor of children. Ten cents
a day may be cpough to buy a pair of stock
ings, aud hardly enongh for that; bet it
will not purchase a decent garment to cbv
' er the uakedness of the partner of your bo
som. Ten cents a day may he enough to
brand aud stigmatize the lubor of a man as
boiDg* worth less than the work of a dray
horse; hit it will not enable the working
man to hold up his head among his fellows*
as one capable of providing for his house
and little ones so long as God may give him
life and health. Ten cents a day would be
a badge of odium worse than the badge of
slavery. Are the workingmen of America
willing to elevate by their suffrages to the
highest post in the world, the office seeker
who holds such sentiments and whose great
object would be to carry into execution his
darling theory of ten cents a day? The la
borer is always worthy of his hire, we are
told by the good Book. But James Bu
chanan ignores the truth Qf that quotation
as he would ignore the respectability of the
laboring man. Talk as we may about this
matter, the simple fact stands out bold aud
significant that James Buchanan is uot and
from his mental constitution never can be
the true friend of the workingmen. He is
their enemy, and if elected will prove him
self such.— liarrisb trg Sentinel.
THE TRUTH ADMITTED
The following extract from the July num
ber of Brownson's Review, fully confirms
all that the Americans have charged upon
the Irish Papists. Every riot on a canal or
rail road, —every assault upon an A mcrican
Procession,--every knock-down between a
Corkon ian and a Fardooner—de re'. opes
their • -bitter passions," and makes our coun
try the arena for fighting cut their old
beredi;ary feuds Hear what the Review
says.
"In the of the country where the
prejudices against Catholicity are strongest,
it has seemed to be Celtic rather than Ca
tholic. and Americans have felt that to be
come Catholics, they must Lceome Celts,
and make eoiurncn tause with every class of
Irish agitators, who treat Catholic America
as if it were a province of Ireland. A con
siderable portion of our Catholic population
have bro't with them their old prejudices of
race, national animosities, and bitter pas
a inns, and made our country the area for
fighting out their hereditary feuds. Our so
called Catholic journals are little else than
Irl<h newspapers, and appeal rather to
Irish than to Catholic interests and sympa
thies. Some teem with abuse of Ameri
cans and are filled diatribes against the race
from which the majority of uon-Catholic
Americans claim to have sprung. Their
tone and temper arc FOREIGN, —and their
whole tendency is to make an American feel
that, practically, the Church iu this coun
try is the Church of a foreign colony, and
by no means Catholic. All this may be
very natural, and very easily explained to
the Catholic who is willing to pardon almost
anything to a people that has stood firm by
the faith during three ceuturies of martyr
dom, but every one see that it is far
better fitted to repel Americans from the
Church, than to attract them to it; cspeci
ally when they fiud tbe fotoignism which
offends thetn defended by a portion of the
clergy, and apparently opposed by noue.
aud curried even even into politics, and
made or attempted to be made, the turning
point in our elections."
Here is an honest confession cn the part
of a prominent organ of Roman Catholic
ism, that the Irish Papists come here with
"their old prejudices of race uatioual ani
mosities and bitter passions,"—aud, conse
quently, it is impossible ever to American
ize them, or make good.citizens of them.—
Their "foreignism," the Review admits, is
"carried even into politics, and made or at
tempted to he made, the turning point in oor j
elections." And this course is not only
approved, but "defended" by the Roman
Catholic Clergy. Instead of rebuking this
ruffianism and insolent and violent inter"
ferenee in our elections, the corrupt Priests
encourage it, and are too often found incit
ing their illiterate and bigoted followers to
acts of riot aud bloodshed. If it be the.
object of the American party to crush out
this spirit of foreign ruffianism,—to guard
the purity of the American ballot box, —
and to preserve our country from the rule
of the foreign rabble whose "national ani
mosities and bitter passions*' lead them in
itial! kinds of social, polUionl and religious
excesses, -for one we cannot hesitate to bid
that party God speed, believing with tho
venerated Jackson tbat, in this respect, a 1
least, "it is tiuic for America to become a
little more Americanised."
A NEW PLAN FOIt A UNION ELEC
TORAL TICKET.
Let the Fremont and Fillmore men select
26 electors in common, and then let the
Fremont men eboose a 27th to be placed at
the head of the 26, and the Fillmore men
ehooso another 27th to be also placed at the
head of the 26 electors in eOmmou, the
whole ta be pledged to divide the electoral
vote between Fremont and Fillmore, in pro
portion to the vote cast for Fremont or Fill
more, as indicated by the 27th at the head
of the respective tickets. If, however, by
thus dividing the electors of this State it
should become evident that neither Fre
mont nor Fillmore could be elected, and if,
moreover, by uniting the electors either
upon Fillmore or Fremont, one or the oth
er of tbec niight be elected, then and in
that case the electors to be pledged to cast
their united vote for that man who shall
have the largest number of electors in all
the other States combined.
What objection can any sincere oppouent
of the Cincinnati platform have to such a
Union? By this couse both divisions of the
opposition can vote their sentiments without
the relinquishment of any principle, and all
e©u work harmoniously and effectively for
the deliverance of the country freni the
untold evils which threaten it in the eveut
of the success of the party that has already
brought us to the brink of civil war, and
which has found in Mr. Buchanan a candi
date ready and willing to adopt and endorse
all those scandalous outrages upon the
rights and liberties of a free people, which
have made the pretnt National Adminis
tration infamous throughout the world.—

Ma. B tcu A NAN'S VISIT TO BEDFODD.
—A correspondent of the Baltimore Pat riot
a visitor at Caledonian Springs, Adams

from Bedford, lie was there when Mr.

banners flung to the breeze, as the carriage
approached. It stopped, and an elderly in

The Assaults on Jnrkson,
The vcuomons assaults upou the fair fame
of Jackson, by the Kuehanau uien, cotttiuue j
unabated. Tlius, the Louisville Courier , a
leading Kuehanan print in Kentucky, says |
"A private letter written by Jaeksou in j
1845, just before his death, meanly villify
ing Buchanan charging him with cowardice '
and falsehood, is shamelessly dragged forth 1
to degrade Buchanan. The infamy of the :
affair rests upon Jackson for writing this 1
letter, and next ujion those who have brought 1
it to light for political effect now for the j
first time. They who "heap approbriutu i

are they who have dishonored Lim and do. _
graded themselves bv publishing unfor
tunate private letter of the insanely viiuli
citive old tyrant, who iu this very letter, '
proved that, to the last, uo touch of justice
or magnanimity towards an opponent or j
rival ever eutored his breast, and that his
j only use fo;* friends was to make tools of
them. If Buchanan had in 1827, instead of
faithful testimony, as be did, corroborated
I Jackson's charges against Clay, Jackson
; never would have written his infamous secret
letter of 1845! We believe that history
j convicts Jackson of siaJci iug Clay, and then
, convicts hitu of slandering Buchanan be-'
I cause he would- not perjure himself by sup

his many adherents of former days! If he
has, it is meet that they should know of bis 1

Fillmore and Fremont at the head of its
