Peter s. MichIer, ESQ.

This gentleman has been recommended to the
People of Northampton, Wayne, Pike, Monroe
and Carbon, as suitable person 10 represent
this District in the Congress of the U. States.
Mr.. Michler is well known 10 every voter, and
needs no eulogium from US. He represented
US in the State Senate for four years; and the
manner in which he discharged the arduous du-
lies Of that Office, gave universal satisfaction.
His opinions upon the Tariff and Distribution,
are sound-and just exactly wha, the people
want to see carried out Let them therefore,
elect him, and they will no, have reason to re.
gret their choice. He will be supported by
his opponents as well as by his political friends

The Governor.

This is the last time We can address our
readers previous 10 the Guberna,orial Election,
and call upon them to rally in favor Of General
Joseph Markle, the hero, patriot, and poor-man's
friend. Gen. Markle is noble specimen of a
man. His heroic services during the late war,
stamp him as one of our bravest and best of
soldiers-whlst his disinierested sacrifices and
devotion to the country, proclaim him TO be eve-
ry inch man and patriot. He is in favor of
selling the Public Works and reducing the
heavy State Tax, and goes for other measures
Of relief. His opponent is an old Office hol.

the British and Indians during the las, war, and
who will restore our State to the condition in
which the plunderers, who now abuse their

GEN. Joseph Tarkie.

Gen. Markle, is no Office holder. Although
he distinguished himself in the most honorable
manner during the late war, he has never Sc,

Mr.. Creveling, of Warren, N. j., was now
called upon TO sing one of his Wing songs,
which he did in fine style. The Hon. JOSEPH
L. WHITE, formerly member Of Congress from
Indiana, now citizen Of New York, was then
introduced 10 the meeting. Appearances had
indicated rain all the previous part of the day,
and now it had commenced. The Hon. speak
er therefore proposed tha, the meeting should
adjourn to some suitable place, sheltered from
the weather. Ii was voled, however, by ac-
clamation, that he should proceed, as they were
willing TO brave the storm in such cause. He
did proceed, and more lucid, fair, digni6ed,
and well-compacted argumen, in favor of the
Protective System could not have been made,
under the very unfavorable circumstances OF
the case. Such plain, earnest, intelligent, home
appeals as flowed from the eloquent orator,
could no. fail of execution. Never did an ar
gumeniaiye speaker rivet more closely the at
eniion Of an audience than did Mr. White that
day-if the eye and whole expression of listen
ers is lair index of what they feel. He took
occasion also, in the course of his remarks, to
define the relative positions ofsM Clay and
Mr.. Polk, on the absorbing question of the Ta-

The WhiS Mass Meeting on the 2sfla
OF September.


We think we never witnessed more ami
mated assemSlage Of the people. than was to
be seen lhronging the streets of Stroudsburg on
Saturday last. There were men from the diff
ferent walks of socie,y,-the honest farmer and
artisan in their plain attire, the professional
man, the merchant. and the man of leisure, col
lec'ed in groups, discussing grave questions of
State or national policy; or gazing at the impo-
sing pageant, as with badge and banner it passed
in long procession. A fine delegation came
from Pocono, accompanied by the Nazareth
band Of music. From Brodhead's creek, also,
a noble band was sent. In that procession
there was one team Of $ yoke of oxen, draw
ing or 8 wagons lashed together and well
loaded, which attracted much attention. The
Smi.h6eld delegation, also, was a spirited af-
fair, got up in good taste, and very respectable
for numbers. Blu, the Wings Of Mt. Bethel
what shall we say Of them They certainly did
the thing up right. The spectacle they pre-.
senled when. passing through the town was tru-
ly grand. Accompanied by the Williamsburg
and the Stewarsvile bands OF music, and orna-
mented by several splendid flags, and banners
with various notices and devices, it could not
be otherwise than most imposing. From Ross.
also, the Wings sent their delegation, and a
fine one it was. New Jersey also joined US on
the festive occasion. Many were here from the
neighborhood OF Blairs,own-many also from
Belvidere and its vicinity; but the Columbia
boys took the lead. They came in righ. good
earnest. The procession altogether was fine
one This we think all will admit. We may
safely estimate the number present al one thous-
and. Had the meeting been nearer the middle
of the week, and had the day been favorable,
the assemblage would have been far greater
than i. was. Of this we have the means of
knowing for certain.
At the hour Of o'clock p NJ, the mass of
people collected around the stand, erected In
from, of the Female Seminary, while the Sem
mary itself, above and below, was filled with
ladies, anxious TO manifest their sympathy with
the Wing cause, and to share in the anticipated
pleasure of listening to the fine speakers pres
ent on the occasion. The meeting was organ
lied by appointing the following officers:

strangers often stopped she passed, and exclaimed,

young men gszed on her with admiration. She was
poor, and removed the city to earn her living by
