Eka1EssSeA yes

Locotocos have been very busy circulating
reports that the Wing vote in Philadelphia
county would be greatly reduced this fall
Unfortunately for Locofoco stories, Philadel-
pha Wings have spoken on the subject and
given the lie to all their prognosticatons.-
At the immense mass meeting they had in that
city on Monday the 18th, they passed the fol-
lowing resolution. We commend it to those
Locofocos who have taken so great interest
in our affairs:
Resolved, That the friends of the National
and State Administrations in the City and
County of Philadelphia, still as ever cherish
union for the sake Of the Union that they
recognize in the issues of the present contest
every duty and incentive that has ever united
and sustained them, heightened by evils more
oppressive, and an exgency more threatening
than any which has hitheto invoked their pa
triotism; that they enter into the field under
the same banner which was upheld by the
mighty arms of Harrison, Clay and Taylor,
and with all, and more than all their olden
union, ardor and confidence; and that they
pledge themselves to their friends Of the IN
terior, to give larger rote and a heavier
majority for JohnStOn-the tried and true
than any recorded in the annals Of the party
This is not unmeaning phraseology. The
Wings of Philadelphia intend to do all they
promise They are anxious TO bear part of
the honor in re-eecting to Office man who
has guided the State so successfully for the
last two years and a hal-who has preserved
the public credit-who has improved our pub
lie Works, and who has paid
S732, ,235 % of the Public Debt!

the State debt, and will pay more before this
fiscal year expires. General Bickel, the OPP
position State Treasurer, who is competent
to Judge, says.the Sinking Fund Act is a
'WtSE AND SALUTARY ENACTMENT,'
and that if undisturbed, IT WILL PAY
THESTATE DEBT. Mr., Bigler and the Lo-
coGoco press generally have taken ground a.
gcinst this Sinking Fund. Will the people
sustain men who oppose, ridicue and de-
nounce what is PAYING THE STATE

Slump Speaking.

"Fellow citizens" said stump orator,
"we have the best country in the world,
and the best government. No people on
the face of this globe enjoy more liberty
than we do. Here we have liberty of
speech, and liberty of the press, without
onerous despotism. What, fellow-citi-
zens, is more desirable than this? Do
you want anything more, my counery-
men!"

VIZ, SfHREEEr.

The Hon. John Strohm, the Wing candi-
date for Canal Commissioner, has Just pub
lished letter in relation to the INSCRIPTIONS
manner in which some of the opposition press
assert and re-assert that he, while a member
Of Congress, voted against the granting Of
supplies to sustain our army in Mexico
Mr.. Strohm recapitulates the whole facts of
the case, and says that while he was prepared
to vote for the original bill, the main features
of which were to authorise the President, if
he deemed it eXpedient, to call for and accept
the services Of any number of volunteers, not
exceeding $4,000, and appropriating $l0,000,-
900 for the purpose of carrying the provisions
of that act into efect-he was not prepared
to vote for the amendment introduced by Mr..
Boyd, of KY, which declared that the war ex-
listed by the act of Mexico, and authorised
the President to prosecute it to a speedy
and successful termination. He could not,
he said, sanction bill which contained asser-
tons so palpably false, and which was fraught
with such mischievious consequences. This,
however, was very different from voting against
the bill to grant supplies. Mr.. Strohm con-
cludes his letter with this language:
"After the passage of that bill, in which
the war with Mexico was recognized and
sanctioned by the regular and properly con-
stituted war-makjng power ofthe government,
made no further resistance to the war, but
voted for all and every appropriation proposed
to sustain the army, and prosecute the war
with vigor, and defy any ofthe Democratic
orators or editors to point out an instance
in which | did not, unless accidentally
absent from the house. But am accused of
giving vote to withhold supplies, and starve
the volunteers in Mexico.
The only vote of mine that can be tortured
into anything like a Withholding of supplies,
was the vote on the bill above alluded to, and
that was before any volunteers were ordered
out. That bill, as already stated was to au-
thorise the President to accept the service of
volunteers, and making provision for their
pay and sustenance. Both propositions went
together, and had my vote been decisive Of
the fate Of the bill, the volunteers could not
have been accepted, would not have been
called upon, and consequently would not have
been starved in Mexico, even without an
appropriation.
/ might say much more upon this subject
bat fear have trespassed too much on your
space already. What has been said, wall, |
trust, be sufficient for all candid and impartial
men; and with those who are determined not
to be convinced. it is useless TO omultiply words
or accumulate arguments.
Yours, &c. JOHN STROltM.

Nhy the LOccfocOs did nO. pay
the State Debt.

In l845, at least one thousand Justices
of the Peace were elected in tho State.
Each of these Justices received a com
mission from the Governor. The law
imposes a tax of 81 on each of these
commissions. The State Treasurer's re-
report for that pear shows that instead Of
at least $4,000 being paid into the
State Treasury on this account, only
S269 80 were ever accounted for! This
money came into the hands of some of
the subordinates in the State Department,
Why was it not paid into the Treasury!
Who kept the money? What robber in
tested Capitol Hill and feeced the State
to enrich himself? This was under Lo-
cofoco rule. These men are not yet sat-
isfed, They want more plunder. Will
the people give it to them.

The Great Earthquake at Ma

Orer T'0o Thousand Lives Lost-Cnies
DESTROYED md Dalanoed.

Deer Tt0o Thousand Lives Lost-Ciiies
Destroyed and Damaged
The Washington Republic publishes let
ter from the Hon. Edward Joy Norris, the
American Minister to Naples, giving a min
ute account of the terrible earthquake which
occurred in the western portion of the kingdom
Of Naples, on the 18th of July, by which
some 2500 lives lost, and several towns eth
er totally Frustrated or greatly damaged
Mr.. Morris says that previous to the shock
stream that runs near the city Of Melfi sud-
denly disappeared, and adds :
At the first shock, Milf, which contains
ten thousand inhabitants, was proStrated in
the dust, nothing but few crumbling walls
surviving the general ruin. An unknown
number of its inhabitants were buried under
the falling mass of fabrics. Up to the pres
ent moment seven hundred dead bodies have
been disinterred, and many others are con-
stantly being found. More than two hundred
persons lie in an adjacent hospital, suffering
under grievous wounds, while many have
been dug out alive from the ruins. Amongst
others, female infant year old, after ly-
ing buried for two days, was brought out iv-
ing and unharmed, and restored to its affiic-
ted mother, widowed by the same calamity.
The shocks and rumbling of the earth still
occasionally occurred at the time of writing
his letter, and all eyes were turned upon W.e-
suvus as the safety valve through which the
struggling fires might escape, although no
/ local signs were yet apparent.
The neighboring towns Of Atella, Rionero,
Barlle, and Rapola are sufferers by the same
convulsion. Rionero is a general wreck, not
a sound house remaining-more than hun.
dred persons have perished, and as many have
been manned or wounded. In Blrile the on
ly edifice not entirely destroyed is the orphans
asylum, while the discovered dead amount to
about one hundred and fifty. In the commune
Of Bari the towns of Cerato, Minervno, Spin
azzola, Andria, and 'Trani were all injured
more or less. In Canosa, the ancient Can
asirm, founded by Diomed, and whose walls
once enclosed a circuit of sixteen miles, three
hundred and seventy-six houses were thrown
down. At the last report the shocks around
Mount Volture continued, and one-half of
the city of Venosa, the ancient TcnuSia, con-
tanning six thousand iDAabitants, and celebra-
ted as the birthplace of Horace, was destroy
ed. The mountain Pro.nces of Apruzzi and
Of Calabria, where the earthquake of 1888
destroyed three hundred cities and buried
thirty thousand human beings, have thus far
escaped.

A young lady Of this city, says the
Philadelphia Argus, while in the country
some years ago, stepped on rusty nail,
which ran through her shoe and foot
The inflammation and pain were Of course
very great, and lock jaw was apprehen-
ded. A friend of the family, however,
recommended the application Of a beet
taken fresh from the garden, and pounded
fine, to the wound. It was done, and the
effect was very beneficial. Soon the IN
famation began TO subside, and by keep
inc on the crushed beet, changing it for
a fresh one as its virtue seemed to be-
come impaired, a speedy cure was efec-
ted. Simple bat efectual remedies like

SVhO WAS lIle Murderer Of James
Kennedy?

The Carlisle Herald of the oath ult,,
contains the following pointed paragraph:
"The Locofocos try to hold Gov john
ston responsible for the riot in Lancaster
county and the murder of Mr.. Gorsuch.
In 1647 a riot of similar nature took
place at Carlisle, in which Mr.. Kennedy,
of Hagerstown, Maryland, was severely
injured, and soon after died. Frances r.
Skunk was Governor Of the State. Was
he responsible for the riot and murder?
Did Gov. Skunk interest himselfin arrest
ing the rioters? Did he issue any Pro
clamation Offering a reward? No. Gov.
Skunk did nothing whatever to arrest or
bring to trial the persons implicated
The Anti-Kidnapping law of l647, which
Bigler heLped 10 pass aHd S/tlt1lk signed,
was then IN full force Did Gov. Skunk
afterwards recommend its repeal! Did
Bigler, who still remained in the State
advocate its repeal? Not bit of it
They took the matter very coolly, and
said nothing. The locofOco party eft the
law ofl647 four years on the statute book
and not until the very last hour of the last
day of the last session of the Legislature,
did the Union get into such imminent
danger as to require its repeal?! What
humbuggery :"

A son murdered by his Father.

On Monday, last week, we learn from
the Fulton IN. Y y Democrat, most bru-
tai murder was committed in the town OF
Caroga in that county, by John Sprung,
Sen. His son John Sprung Jr., for some
weeks past had been confined to his bed,
in consequence of a fractured limb. The
day preceding the tragical occurance the
young man was discharged from the doc
tors list, was in excellent spirits, enjoy
ed good appetite, and his limb was fast
recovering. About ten o'clock the accu-
sed, who is addicted to intoxication, re-
turned home from New&irk's Mills, some
what disguised by liquor, and immediate
" commenced the most violent abuse on
his helpless son, and waxing warmer in
his threats and denunciations, he finally
approached the bed of his disabled victim,
and gave vent to his demoniac spirit by
assaulting him in the most inhuman man
ner. The mother interfered in behalf oil
her dying son several times, when she
was violently thrust out of the room,
where she remained several minutes in a
state of insensibility, the monster in the
mean time continuing his assaults upon
the young man, who imploringly begged
for his life. But his supplications were
unheeded; his dying requests were disre-
garded by his brutal father. The de-
ceased died in less than an hour after the
assault was committed upon him.

A Rattle for IL xe:rO.

The Louisville Journal relates us an incl
dent-a negro raf1le-which came off III one
of the towns of Mississippi. MIR, the
owner OF the boy having note to pay that
day, (Sl 900, which lie had endorsed for a
deceased trlend,) and not having the where
wlthal to do it, was compelled to do what he
gladly would not have done. The boy to be
ratified for was a smart intelligent lad ofabout
Is years of age, and he went around and got
the chance taken himself. He went by the
name of Bill. There were eighty chances,
with "three dice" at SO per chance But
one chance remained, afrl this was taken by
a stranger who happened to be present, and
who gave it to Bill upon the condition that
he would throw the dice himself, and "shake
like oxen" Bill rolled his eyes in d very
astonishing manner, and after a hearty wha
wha! in which he displayed two frightful
rows of ivory, opening a mouth /" like the
break of day, from east to west, with low
bow~said, "Ill try, massa." As may be sup
posed, the scene became highly exciting.
The rafting commenced. Bill looked un-
concerned at anything but the idea of leaving
his old master When the chances were all
raffled off but the last, Bill took the box; pre-
viously to his throwing, however, he was
offered 500 for his chance, the highest throw
yet made being 4O, which stood "a tie" be-
tween two individuals, but Bill was no "CoRl-
promise man." he refused the offer, saying
"de whole hog or noffin," and made his first
throw, which was IA, his second throw was
l6; Bill stopped, scratched his head, threw
again and up came Is. 1t was declared that
bill was free" and such shout was never
before heard.
Bills success induced him to try another
speculation of the same sort, believing that
he could do as a free man, as much as he had
before done he proposed to set himself up
again in "raiile," and he thought it would
be no more than fair that he should pHt the
price at $500 this time. The chances were
soon taken. Bill reserving hut one chance to
himself He pocketed $3.50 and the sport
again commenced. Bill'S original owner and
himself were the two highest again, and, in
throwing off, Bill lost. Itproved very fortu-
nate speculation for Bll and his master both.
The master had made $500 clear and Bill
had cleared $500, and remalned with his kind
master. Both were we'll contended and eve
ry one present was satisfied that be had got
his moneys worth.

They want to betray confidence
again.

The Loccofocos have the effrontery to
ask the people to trust the Tariff question
with them. Do they suppose the people
have forgotten the Tariff fraud of 1874 !!
Do they suppose the People will again
trust the party who basely betrayed them
heretofore! Do they suppose the People
will again fall into trap which deceitful
Locofoes set? The people are honest.
They despise and hate the dishonesty and
deception of the leaders of the Locofoco
party, and if they are wise, they will nev-
er again confde their dearest interests to
the Punic faith of Locofocoism.

Just now there is great snarling from the
whole editorial pack at Gov. Johnston, be-
cause he don't stay at home and attend to
his business. The Government is going to
smash as sure as the moon is made Of green
cheese. They don't wait to point out one
single duty neglected, for this they cannot
find but the fact that he is out among peo-
pie, receiving the testimonials of their appro-
baton and rendering himself, fpossible still
more popular, and giving the lie to their Ii
belous charges, is sufficient evidence to
them that the whole machinery of Govern
ment is out of geer. Gentlemen, don't be a.

the time at that. Wait till the milk is split
before you blubber about it. When you find
one single duty neglected, then blow it out
with all your might. But don't borrow trou-
bic; it will come to you quite fast enough
Gov. Johnston is able to take care of himself
He is not, Bigler fashion, in leading strings,
nor cats paw for any clique or faction
His attention is directed to the welfare of the
people, to the payment of the State debt, to
the reduction of our taxes. He will continue
to labor for these, and the hue and cry of par
ty asprants cannot hinder it. Look at the

Let the People Remember.

THAT on the 18th of May, 1876, in the Con-
gress of the U. S., motion was mTde to In
crease the pay Of priUates of infantry, artille-
ry, and rihemen from eight to ten dollars per
month. These men were engaged in fighting
the battles oftheir country. This motion to in
crease their pay was OPPOSED by large
number of Locoiocos among whom was RICH
ARD BRODHEAD, now Locofoco United
States Senator from this State! 1t was SUS-
TANNED by large number of Wings, among
whom were Joseph Burlington, Cornelius Dar-
ragh, Joseph r. Ingersoll, A. R. MIlvaine,
James Pollock, Andrew Stewart and JOHN
STROHM, of Pennsylvania. The motion to
increase the soldiers pay was carried by
majority of tOenty-t,0o uOtes, Notwithstanding
B-odhead and other Locoiocos with the same
want of feeling voted against this humane
measure. (For the vote see House Journal,
LIST session, 29th Congress, 1945-'6 page 1881
When Locofocos talk of John Strohm's voting
