1t has been represented to US that Gen. Csss Is
worth million and qharter of dollars. 1t is
nothing to US whether he is worth one dollar or
one million, but to loco-foco editors and orators,
who opposed Gen. lRvIN on account of his alleged
wealth, it is matter of great importance OF
course they will take measures to ascertain the
fact, and if it be such is represented, they will,
like consistent, honest patriots, they are aban
don him to the support of the millionaires. silk
stocking gently, and Others, with whom they of
course have no sympathy. To doubt this would
be to question their sincerity and candor
There is another class that will abandon CAss-
those who have such holy horror of Federalism,
and Federaiists. The fact OF his having worn the
black cockade will cause those consistent politi-
ticians, the burden of whose song is fear and ha-
tired of everything Federal to leave him to his fate.

Infamous.

The loco-focos of Reading erected pole in that
city, on the 24h ult, and in order to raise ex-
citement against the Wings, had 1t cut down the
same epening! They then charged the Wings with
committing the outrage against the " democracy
and the locofoco presses pretend to in this the
sad condition to which they would be reduced if
the Wings succeed in obtaining power. The press
of that place says "peither our lives, our liberty,
nor our property would be safe," and "violence
and death upon the scaffold, and outrages such as
have been visited upon the heads of Tell, OCon-
nell, Emmett and John Mitchell, would be the or
der of the day." The Pennsylvania copies this
vile sander upon the Wings, with the cool remark,
This is helping Berks to roll up sir thousand for
Cass and Butler"
Now, the editor of the Pennsylvania knows
this to be the vilest slander upon the Wings that
ever was perpetrated by any party, and yet. be-
cause it is "helping Cass and Butler, he lends his
aid in this infamous scheme.-Ib.

Thfilliag Incident.

In the course of the Hon. w. R. Thompson's
remarks al the Baltimore ratification meeting, the
other night, he asked What has old Zach
done 9 Here voice in the crowd replied =
l'lltell you what he has donel Abouttwo weeks
ago stopped at Gen. Taylors house, and he re-
cevied me in the most cordial manner; gave me a
comfortable meel and a good feather bed to sleep
on, and in the morning ten dollars to pursue my
journey with"
Mr.. T. then inquired of the person speaking
who he was to which he replied that he was a
Mexico. This incident created great enthusiasm
among the crowd of listeners, and was the pre-
ude to the mention OF various anecdotes by Mr..
t. illustrative of the goodness Of heart and kind
feelings of Gen. Taylor

Vote ofthe Volunteers.

The Louisville Journal says the Mississippi
regimer, numbering about 300 came up ffUm
New Orleans on the steamer Gen. Lafayette
Al Baton Rouge they found Gen. Taylor upon
the wharf and gave bun three tremendous
cheers. The whole might of their lung, was
wreaked upon the effort. One of the best
known and most respectable gentlemen Of the
State, who came up on the Lafayette Uniformed
the Journal editors that he made it his buisl-

Don't Know HisaNeiehbor.

The Eas,on Argus has given currency to a ly-
ing paragraph touching Mr.. CLAY's opinion of
Gen. TATLoR's popularity, which for downright
blackguardism cannot be surpassed in the whole
round of Loco-foco Journalism. The North A.
merican in noticing it says: :" The Lancaster In
telgencer. the Bedford Gazette and the like, will
certainly copy 1.-THE Pennsylvania may be a.
shamed to, but we fear it will not"
The North American clearly don't know its
neighbof. or it would know that the Pennsylva-
nian is not ashamed to publish anything, especial
ly where a hope may be entertained that vote
will be made by it. The $500 year consider
alton which controls the patriotism of the Penn
syvanian, would impel it to thrust shaft into the
living body, with as little compunction as it has
opened the new made grave, and over its names
glut its instincts with ribald jests.-Lb

Honest Sentiments.

Something like year ago. the Locofocos Of
Sussex county, N. j., (not a few hangers on, but
the real leaders and masses of the party, and the
party paper,) went in for Gen. Taylor for the
Presidency. They held a county meeting, and is:
sued an address setting forth their "reasons for
the faith that was in them"
"Gen. Taylor" says The Address, ''has been,
during his whole life, attached TO the army, and
we cannot, therefore, poIn. to his votes and
speeches as evidence of his political opin-
ions nay, we do not claim that he is deeply
versed in The political games which have been
so long played at the Capitol but we put him
forth nevertheless as Man of the People
whose daily walk is a standing pledge ,ha, he
will guard their interests and maintain their
rights his plain and simple habits his home
Iy bearing his modest depof,men, his care
of the poor soldier his humane conduct towards
the enemy; his power over the masses; are all
indications nol TO be mistaken of The character
of his mind. and are stronger pledges Of his ad-
herence TO the popular will than either speeches
or Pre,ensions.
"We are not desirous TO identify him with
the exciting questions Of past political conflicts,
or draw him into the arena of parry strife; but
that he is democrat in the best sense of the
term, no man who has watched his career can
for a moment doubt.
"We have the highes, assurance. then, that
whatever new questions may arise, Gen. Tay-
lor, if elected President. will always consult
the good of the great body of the people lha,
his habits. his mode of living. and his princi-
plies. attach him to The masses, and that he is
indssolubly connected with the grea, popular
party Of the country. His 6rmness /; his deci-
sion Of character; his successful management
of men; his,spfendid achievements on the field
of battle his brief and finished dispatches
all indicate intellectual faculties of the higest
order and seem to poin, him Out as person
we'll fitledto take the helm of state. We there
fore raise the banner Of ROUGH AND REA-
DY,' and present to the democracy oflhe state
and nation Gen.. Zachary Taylor as our favorlte
candidate for The Presidency"

A curious calculation was mentioned in the
House of Representatives the other day. The
expenses of the war with Mexico and the pur-
chase of worthless territory will be hundred
and seventy millions of dollars. This amount
in silver placed intwo-horse wagons, a thousand
pounds 10 each wagon. would fill ten thousand
six hundred and twenty-five wagons, which
would make dense train extending sixty.six
miles money enough to educate all the chill.

then there would have been enough left TO
purchase all the territory which we have &C.
quired.

Still ut their Old Tricks.

The Democratic Union of this week published
a card purporting to be signed by Mr.. Benz. Kutz,
of Sterrett's Gap, Cumberland county, in which
Mr.. Kutz is made to express great deal of vir-
tuous indignation on account ofthe proceedings of
the Wing National Convention, and especially for
its servile abandonment of all principles in the Sc
lection of Gen. Taylor.
The Carlisle Herald thus explodes the story:
Now we stand ready to PROVE that all this
has been done without Mr.. Kutz's knowledge or
consent! We can prove by credible witnesses
that he has publicly denied that he wrote any such
letter authorized it, and that he offers $25 to any
man who will produce such letters with his sigma
ture! The whole thing is CANNON, and nothing else
The Cass men are almost driven to desperation,
by the divisions and distractions their own ranks
and they resort to such miserable shifts as this
to impress their party with the belief that the why's
are in the same predcament. But the trick is too
silly to take, and all such attempts will only re-
coil upon them with redoubled force Let them
look TO the dissensions in their own ranks in New
York, all the Eastern and Western States. and in
the old Keystone too, and they will see the hand
writing on the WALL" If they could produce
thousand decensions of wings, it would be no re-
dempton for them. We could safely produce SIR
from Cass to every one they can produce from
Taylor. Their doom is sealed. The people have
decreed it,

Re IL Remembered.

That Lewis Cass voted in favor of creating a
Lieutenant General, to command the armies in
Mexico for the purpose of supercedng Doth Scott
and Taylor.
And that when Gen. Taylor accepted the terms
of captulation offered by the enemy at the battle
of Monterey, to save the lives of women and chill
dren in the city, Lewis Cass voted to censure the
humane old General for this act of mercy.
1t is an easy thing to sit on silk velvet cushion
and censure the humane conduct of brave and
patriotic soldier but it will not b6 so easy to in
duce the people to sanction the censure. 1t will
be remembered at the polls.

Remarkable Adventure with a Bear.

II was one day during The presen, week that
two boys, sons Of Seth Names, Of Bradford
township, in this country. one perhaps fifteen
and the other no, over eight or Ten years Of age.

through one of the fields. The oldest boy ran
10 the house, go. a gun, gave chase, and on
coming up TO 1t, shot, and wounded hin the
nose. He then commenced reloading his gun
and whilst he was doing so. his little brother
ran forward. or by some means the particulars
we did not leaInl became engaged with The bear.
The older brother then ran 10 the relief of the
liule fellow, and when he reached him received
stroke from the bear on the arm. which
knocked him down. and The three rolled ioge,h-
er, gun aud all. Presently The older brother
got loose. pulled the gun from under the besr..
and whilst il was holding The child in lis arms
deliberately shot il dead.

End of the Volume.

The present number of our paper concludes the
eighth volume of the Jefersonian Republican. /,
also brings TO close the seUenh year of our con-
nection with it as Editor and Publisher. 1t is
customary, in almost every business, at the end
Of the year, to overhaul the books. settle up ac-
counts, pay off old scores, and begin the new year
on new scale. Instead of squaring up with US
at the end of the year, however upon looking over
our books, we see that seven years have gone by
and that great many Of our subscribers have not
yet paid us cent on their accounts. Most of the
others owe US for two years-very few having
paid up the full amount of their subscriptions
To them, individually, the amounts are small, ba,
to US collectively, they are large I'm consequence
of the irregularity of payment by our subscribers
we have often been put to great Inconvenience
during the last six years. We hope our subscri-
bers will see the necessity of complying with this
appeal, and at once put an end to our cause ol
complaint. Ia fact il is absolutely necessary tina,
all our claims should be settled We are making
arrangements which positively demand it.
