Never before--not even in 1874. did
the Locofocos make such powerful exer-
tions as they are making at the present
time. From one extremity of the State
to the other they are evidently straining
every nerve to excite the rank and file in
order to secure larger turn out to the e.
lection than they ever had before Skunk,
and Miller, and Longstreth and numbers
more, are traversing the eastern part of
the State, whilst George Nj. Dallas, the
Vice President of the United States, has
descended from his official chair and made
tour through the west and there mount
ed the stump in order TO rally the party.
And the Locofoco press, always suffi-
ciendy rampant, as if moved by one COM
mon impulse, has become as base and as
scurrilous as even the most highly con-
centrated essence OF Locofocoism pos
sibly could make il. The drill sergeants,
from those who dwell in palaces to those
whose element is the sewer, are all busy,
everywhere and at all seasons. They
seem determined not TO leave path un-
trodden or single stone unmoved. Can
the Wings see Locofocoism thus exerting
itself, and look on in apathy and without
preparing for the conflict! Will they re-
main inactive and allow the Locofocos to
defeat them, when by little exeriion
one Of the greatest Whig victories ever
known may be achieved! WHros! you
have it in your power to rescue Pennsyi-
vania from the grasp of Locofocoism,
and the question which you have to de-
eide for yourselves is; WILL you DO TT!
This question applies to each of you in
dividually, and must be decided by EACH
individual for himself. We have now
warned you Of the efforts that are being
made to defeat you, and leave you TO act
as you shall think duty demands Of you
We know your response. Though new
er noisy, you are ever ready 10 do your
whole duty, and We feel assured that you
will this year tara cat ia your might and
give Locofocoism the finishing blow

The Election.

Wings! are you readyf II not see TO it.
BE not caughtnapping. Heser there was
a time when victory depended entirely
upon your own efforts this is that time
Every thing is propitious. The people
have become disguised with bad govern
ment and inefficient aud unworthy public
officers. This is the time for another
rally and the day is ours. The contest
invites you by its offers of srecess TO your
cherished principles CsIae then enc
and all, unite for grand charge upon the
legion Of Locofocoism, and they will be
routed horse, foot and drageon. Charge
upon them in front, rear and flank, armed
at all points with the impregnable mail of
principle and they can not witt stand the
overwhelming assault. Let your war cry
be victory. victoryt

CHARACTER OF THE PRESENT
CONTEST.

We had hoped that the present polt-
ical contest would have passed over with
ont any unpleasant excitemeat, sad for
ourselves endeayored so to shape our
course as to avoid giving personal offence
anywhere Such, too, we perceive has
been the course pursued by most Of the
Wing presses throughout the State; but
this moderation has not been met in SIM
liar spirit by the Locofocos. Their pres
ses have been teeming for weeks with the
foulest calumnies against some il not most
of the Whig candidates; private character
has been assailed in the most malignant
manner, and the gall of persecution has
been vomited forth in the greatest prefu-
sion. In looking over some of the Lo-
co(oco sheets the sober mind is naturally
led to inquire how long a willing ear will
be given to the foul lips of men whose
published slang is moral pestilence-so-
cial joy and happiness must decay wher-
ever it is allowed 10 germinate-and the
briny tear will be made to course down
many cheek where smiles and gladness
reigned before. How are the Wings to
meet such weapons! Certainly not by
similar course ofconduct. No: conscious
OF the correctness Of their principles and
the honesty Of their purposes, they viii
not suffer themselves 10 be forced from
their proPriety, but viii carry on the con-
test as becomes men who feel that they
are contcnding for the right. Though
Lccofocoism may rant and roar; though
ismay speed its poisoned arrows into ma
ny heart; though il may libel. slander
and calumniaie; the Wings viii pursue
tie even tenor Of their way, trusting in
tic justice of their cause and in the intel
liseace and virtue Of the people.

THINGS TO BE REMEMBERED.

1I-tNftJ W lJl< AlA<~'- -~~t~ -@-NA<@
Let j. be remembered by every Wing
voter of the county Of Somerset, that in
remaining at home on the election day,
he is helping to keep the Skunk and Polk
party in power. A party which has need
lessly plunged the country in disastrous
and expensive war, that has drained the
treasury of the people and involved the
nation in heavy debt; and that has spilled
much ofthe best blood of the country
Bear in mind that If it had not been for
the trucking Of such men as Skunk and
Polk to the slave power, this war never
would have been, its enormous cost would
have been avoided, and the hosts of good
men who have been sacrificed as victims
at the unholy shrine of slavery would
have been still living.
Let il be borne in mind by the good
people of Somerset county, that before
Polk and Shnnk were elected to the off,
ces which they now fill, they and their
friends swindled the people Of Pennsyl-
vania into the belief that the tariff Of ls42
would be safe in their hands,--remcmber
that they destroyed ii, and tlat by re-
electing one or both OF them, all hope Of
Its restoration is forever gone. Bear il in
mind that Skunk and Polk and their par
ty are opposed to the protection Of Amer
ican industry, opposed TO the establish
ment of home market that will enable
every farmer to seTl his products at a
good price at his own door, and then turn
out es7 fladsse to aid in hurting such men
from power.
Let itbe remembered that with Skunk,
a locoloco, as governor, locofoco canal
board and locofoco legislature, our pub
lie works were In great measure unpro-
duetiye on accountof bad management,
fhe sessions of the legislature were ex-
tended 10 great length and much useless
extravaganza resorted to- Remember too
that as soon as the Wings obtained ma
jority in the legislature and got one Wing
IN the canal board the public works yield |
ed yearly. If not quite. double. what 4hey 4
had ever done under locofoco manage |
ment, and that the session of the legis- |
lature was shortened moro than month |
thereby saving in this item of expenditure
alone the snug sum Of $4,000 TO the
people of the State. Let these facts be
remembered by the people of Somerset
county, and then they will surely turn
out to a man, and for the sake of good
government, for the purpose ofrePrehating
The conduct of Skunk and Polk in this
war, for the sake Of protection 10 Amer
lean industry, and for the sake Of econo-
my, reuenchment and reform they viii

ernor, Canal Commissioner, and the

ty convention

For The HeraE
TIE LOCO FOCO LEADERS.

Ii is fact well known in this county,
that the loco foco paper called shc -Sos'a-
erset Wing" had become 50 odTous TO the
people, on account OF their hostility 10 the
conduct of lis managers, that It's publica-
ton was suspended. A new tack was
thea taken, -The Peoples Guard" rose
Phoenix like from the ashes Of the
"Whig," and it professed 10 advocate new
principles, SO odious had those of the
s.smaA beer" editor become. This new
name did not hide the cloven foot of loco
focoism and the Guard too was laid in
the tomb with its parent the ~Whig. ~
After the "Guard'' comes the s.Visitor,"
and for while Il avoids all the scuf;iity
and defamation which was resorted TO
by lis predecessors, bat an election for
Governor approaches, and the old writers
for the nauseous "Whig," whose vanity
is only equalied by their ignorance and
malignitv, resume the quill and hurl
their envenomed shafts at men whose pu-
rity when contras,ed with that OF their as
sailants, is so much greater that it defies
comparison. II is useless to stoop to no.
tice the contemplate meannesses of the
writer who figures under the editorial
head of the last "Visiior." A friend fur
nished the editor of the Herald with
statement Of facts which he published
two weeks ago that sufficiently refutes
them, and il this be not satisfactory to
the asi,ine writer of the article in ques-
ton, he ought, if he knows any lac at all.
to know that when charges are made a
gainst men who have better reputation
than his own for honesty, they must have
stronger evidence TO sustain them, than
the mere dicfmn OF one whom the re-
cords of the Quarter Sessions show to
have lied in former days, before they will
give them credence.

We boldly assert that If ever there was

composed of the Polk and Santa Anna 80
cofocos of the present day. JAMES X.
POLK is the BENEDICT ARNOLD of
the nineteenth century. His PASS to
Santa Anna is of a piece with the PASS
granted by Arnold to John Anderson.
MAI. Andre.) Their names are indis-
solubly linked, and it is but fair to pre-
sumo that those who now stand up for
POLK would have stood up for AR
MOLD had they lived in the days Of the
Revolution. Those who support TRAI-
TOR, are little better than traitors them
selves. Who but tory and traitor would
have PASSED SANTA ANNA INTO
MEXICO, and entered INTO dark and
TREASONABLE INTRIGUE with
that thirsty william TO defeat old
RoUGm AND READY, and ba,hc the soil of
Mexico with the blood of his gallant little
army!
Let II be remembered that Francis r.

Santa Anna party, and APPROVES ALL THE
