" Ottr campaign subscribers, who do not,
„wish to continue with us longer, can signify
the same byretuining this number. We trait,
liciweVef, that very few, if any, after our br4.l-'
iant victories, which '.ensures the continuance of.
"good times:4 and in vicwi,of the approaching
Presidential election, will feel themselves irri
able to within() with us. We aim to publish
a good pati : er, and in order to. be successful we
need and expect theeo-opeiation anti patronage,
or our Democratic friends generally.
rirThe war news, which we give at mat
length to-clay to the almost entire exclusion of
ether - matter, will be found of thrilling interest.
It will be Seen that the prowl city of the Az
tecs has fallen before our valiant and all-con
quetin,4.arths, and that the "stars and stripes"
now, wave in triumph-over the world-renowned
Halls of ale- Montezuma:l." But the shout,
of triumplOs scarcely more exciting than it is ,
melancholy,' Dearly has the victory been pur-,
anted; napy noble spirits have fallen; many
heart-strin#s have been severed, and deep and
solemnmoiming oversbadowithe land. But,
we must lefer fm ther remarks for want of

litick,vbeat & Potato Excuse.
Bather tuan own the realitruth that his par
ty was defaated lin this county and in the State
because it had not voters enough, to avert that
result, pnreiglibor of the organ has rehashed
his buckwkeat and potato excuse again as nail
al. ..Now vie will not question our cotempora,
ry's4incerity in this apology, yet we will say,
that, so far! as we have been able to ascertain,
three DemOcrats staye.tPat home on tl)e day of
the electiot, to one Whig, and we believe :this.
-to have Imo the cafe generally. However, wo
would respictfally 4uggest, that to obtlate so

'Alt Gpv. Shunk could not bo re-elected
The i 'result of the election which haiirjust
closed would have been very different if is sue , '
cessfuliatternpt had been made by the political
managers 'of Pennsylvania to intercept the
wishes lof the people in the nomination of Mr.
Shunk; If the primary meeting had been pre
occupied by the instruments of a small - cabal of
brawlers for "new men"; if the State convention
had ben filled with spnri.ars delegates ; the
popular' demand that Gov. Shunk should re
main far another, term in the post he has: filled
so well, had been smothered in a convention
falsely iprofessing to represent the democratic
party, what sort of vote would the substituted
nomination have obtained_ in Pennsylvania?
Where would hive been the enthusiasm of the
democratic masses which we have witnessed,
and thatfaralysis and lethargy of the Whigs?
The vote' of the honest yeomanry of Pennsyl
vania often puzzles -ordinary pliticiami, who
do not sufficiently study moral causes - . The
whig leaders of Pennsylvania, just before the
late election, were confident of a triumph, but
they left out of their calculations one important
element at.least—the attachment of-the people
towards those vt,ho have served them ably and
faithfully.
If wo do not learn from the -example of
Pennsylvania that it is the true policy of a
political party to set up its best men as its
candidtites, there is an example of another kind
now before our eves in our own State which
ought to dispel all remains of -doubt on that
head.

An4Eanstwo.—The New Orleans Delta has
quite a,pitby paragraph on this subject. "Ad
vertising," says the editor, "is to business, what
oil is to the night lamp. Withhold-the neces• ,
sary sapply of oil, and the lamp goes out;• ad
vertise not liberally, and who you 'are, or what
is your business, is known only to a limited cir
cle—your expenses will otherwise continue—
your business falls off, you break, and your
name, I which was never seen to an advertise
ment in the newspapers, now figures in the list
(?f banktupts." This is true—all true. - It is
the teaching of the times, and he who will not
learnt it must never expect, at this period of
gene al activity and rivalry in business, to keep
up with his advertising neighbors in the race
for patronage and prosperity.

The Gambling Law.
The first sentence under Green's Gambling'
'slaw 'was passed on Saturday last. The victim
iwas Mr. ThOmas J. Kerrison, a man of family
I?and possessed of considerable property., It
I be recollected that Mr. K. was•convicted
on the testimony of a young man, who alleged
' . ;that he was enticed into his billiard room - by
;Mr. K. himself, and in the course of mnight'S
play he lost considerable money—the property
'of his employer.. As it was the first case un-'
der the new law, the court sentenced him to
pay a fine of fifty dollars, .and to undergo air
,imprisonment in the Eastern penitentiary for,
the term of three years.
The sentence has been pronounced by many{
a very severe one ; ,but the court in pronoun
ding it stated. that it would deter others flora
violating the law with impunity ; and at El*
same time the whole bench expressed - the opin-i
'on that it Was a good and s.alntary
Scott's Weekly Paper.
The Public Works.
We had a conversation with a gentlemari
yesterday, who had just passed along the Jii•i
niata Division of the State Works. -He gives
it as his- opinion; that the canal may be put in
such order as to ensure several weeks of through
navigation before the setting in of winter, if
the proper amount of labor can be obtained irk
time. The anxiety upon the subject lin this
city is so great, that we are happy to have it
in our power to give assurances every waY
so satisfactory. It is supposed a circular will
shortly be issued by the Board of Canal Corn
missioners relative to the actual amount o
damage, and the probable time it will Consu •
to make the necessary repairs. As they ar •
the best judges, our men of business will 'be
pleased to have their opinions before - they, as
early as possible.—Pennsy/vanian.

1 Th
For , • n, 10 o'cifickl have just returned
from ano her , battlefield—one in which the
victory o the American arms was complete,.
and on w ich our traops contended against an
enemy immensely superior in numbers and
strongly posted: Gen. Worth commenced the
attack
at early day-light. and in less than two
hours every point was carried, all the cannon
of the enemy were in .our possession, an' im
mense quantity' of amniunition captured, and'
nearly 1,000 men, among them 53 officers ta ,
ken prisoners. .

For m re than antic* the battle raged with
a violon not Burpassdd since the Mexican
war comt eneed, and sd great odds hpposed
that for s me ileac the result was doubtful.—
the force f the enemy had been estimated at
from 12, oto 15,000, strongly posted behind
breast wo -s, and to attack them our small force
of scarcel 3,000 was obliged to approach on
an open lain and, without the least comer ;--
but their $, untless courage carried them over
and notwithstanding the Meal
t with a valor rare for them, they

This re,ri
engaged i t the attack upon a strong work on,
the enem 's right, and was opposed to such Su

way poor; Buniell lost !his life. Fully were
they avenged, bdweveil for within half an
hour Durican's. battery, ,aided by the fall of a
nother of their works; drove the dastardly
wretches in full flight across the' fiehts. No
one-knew! or even surmised the strength of the
place: iti was an old fprt, constructed long
since, and was one of the main defences of the
line of works. •
On thd enemy's left and nearer Chapulte
' pee, our Toss was also great, although' not as
severe. :It was here that Col. Wm. M. Gm'.
ham, as frave a spirit a*.ever lived, was kil
led ; 'Opts. Merrill and Ayres also fell in this
part of the field. - The Wonder now is how any
one coulii come. out safe under such a terrible
fire as the enemy poured from his entire line
of-works.l Nothinglmti the daring and impel
uosity oflour men, whd rushed onward while
their coutrades were falling thick around them,

would ha l ve been lost.
The btoken ground on the right of the eaet
my, cut up by deep wines , saved many of
Santa Ana's troops in •their flight ; yet, as it
was, our dragoons .killed and captured many
of the fugitives. Large bodies of the Mexican
cavalry , 'pproaehed the ' scene of strife several
times, b t they were driven like sheep by Dun
can's ba fiery. •
The Mexica° loss has been even more 'se
vere than our' own. Gen. Balderas, Gen, Le

works, the tops of the 'lenses from which they
fought, aud the ground over which they fled are
strewn ulith-lifeless 'bodies. Such was the pan-'
ic, that Zany of our officers say that a,few
fresh tro t ps might have taken Chapultepec it
