EEarlllOny.

Last Thursday evening large meeting was
held at the Chinese Museum in Philadelphia to
condemn the course pursued by Collector LEWIS
of that city; The speakers and audience were
Wings, and resolutions were offered dcnouncing
the language used by the Collector against the
mechanics of that city, and requesting the
President to remove him. Much confusion en-
sued, huzzaing, kissing, and cries of e'put out
the geese" The resolutions, it is said, were
not adopted The meeting broke up in a row.
Il is supposed 10000 persons were present. Sc
much for the unanimity of the Whig party
Three cheers were given for Cray. but not a
word said ABOUT ScorT The Wbig party in
that city is sadly divided

Backing Out.

The Hollidaysburg Wing instead of attempt
ing to answer article of last week. evades
the question at issue, and calls our charge ssa
weak and silly attempt, school boy case,
having neither point nor argument" ssHe who
runs may read,' but it sometimes happens that
he who reads may run. So it has been with
him in regard to his course on this subject
He has read the article, cannot answer it. and
runs away from it. We ASK him TO meet our
charges, nay, we DEMAND an answer to our
assertions. He charged the democracy with a
plunder of the public treasury, wemet the ques-
ton and turned the tables upon him, and now
want him to disprove the following and give us
the figures. Come on Major, and if you smart
under it, dispute it like man.
Does not the present Wing administration in
time of peace, expend annually, SSOO,OOO
more than the democrats did under Polk's ad-
ministration, when the country had all the ex-
penses of a war with Mexico to provide for?
Has there not been an increase in the ordinary
expenses of the Government, under Wing rule,
of SD 100000 yearly, over the expendi-
lures of the late Democratic Administration
Have not the PEOPLE to pay these extra ex-
penditures?

Col. VIM. BigIef.

The Dday AmeTlcan, the organ of Governor
Johnston, at Harrisburg EXHIBITS rather n ner-
vous sensibility at the signal unanimity mani
ested in the Democratic ranks in favor of the
nomination of Col Bigler, and exausts an entire
column of empty words in the vain attempts to
show that there may still be disaffection in our
ranks The scriptural admonition to s.first cast
out the beam out of thine own eye and then
shalt thou see clearly to cast out the moat out
of thy brothers eye'' might be proftbly consul
ted by the 1mericda If the editor will first re-
move the mountains in the way of harmony in
the wing ranks he will then, perhaps, sec more
clearly, and more correctly estimate the magni-
tude and Importance Of the mole hil that OBJ
structs the harmony Of democracy He but illv
conceals his feeling and bclligerant inclinations
towards Col. Biglcr in all that refers to the Gu
benatorial question. We hope the ''organ''
will keep cool In due time it shall understand
the position of the democratic candidate; and if
it insists it, in the contest as it is now evil
IDENTIFY inclin cd to do, it can have quito as much
of bclligerant quality to take care of as it may
desire. The Democracy ask no favors on this
point.
1t is our wish to treat Gov. Johnston with
fairness and candor; but it is evident that this
is not the inclination of the ''organ' towards
Col. Biglcr, and as it seems determined to take
the lead in every thing, it can very readily give
to the canvass the elements of violence and in
vectiyc- We have the proud satisfaction to
know that our candidate would come out of
such ordeal mscathed, and that his charac-
ter, personal and political, will proudly compare
with his opponent.
The american takes the advantage of a remark
of the PenaSyiOaRian TO draw picture of Col.
Bigler on the stump. If at some future day we
should use this effort of the EDITORS magma
ton, as applicable TO Gov. Johnston, hope we
may not be deemed liable to the charge of pla-
giarism Col. Bigler may appear before his
fellow citizens during the contest or he may
not. He will, however, the american may rest
assured, be prepared for any emergency, and
of justice, and truth, and Democracy may re
quire at his hands
In another fight and figure of the 'organ,"
we think we very clearly the fate of
certain man who once built gallows for his
rival, and unfortunately got on it himself. 1t
is always dangerous to stick down stakes with
out knowing who is to run against them. But
VIC have no disposition to talk to the american
in parallels AT the proper time we will endea-
vor to be very cit.-ClearfeId Republican.

Wing Contempt for LabOring Men.

Mr.. WILLIAM d. LEWIS, the Wing Collector
of the port of Philadelphia, says the Reading
Gazette in a letter to the President, upon the
subject of the charges preferred against him,
remarked that laboring men ''dre aceU enough IN
their sphere, bit By no means among tie most re-
Specialize and u.faential Of oar citizcns" This is
pretty language, indeed, for a man holding
Office under government which has marked
out no 'tsphere' for the workingman different
from that of any other citizen, but considers all
upon perfect equality. But it expresses the
real sentiments of nine-tenths of the Wing par
ty, however carefully they may seek to conceal
them. Mr. Lewis doubtless thought there was
no danger in showing his true colors in Whig
company; nay, he probably considered that a
little exhibition of aristocratic pretentions would
all the more readily secure him the sympathy
of ''the powers that be-" We may be certain
that he never intended this opinion of the la
boring men to see the light; but the follies of
politicians like murder, twill out" and so Mr..
Lewis will have to pay the penalty of speaking
his mind too freely. We hope that the large
and influential body Of citizens upon whom this
Icontemptuous aspersion was cast will bear it
in mind and not suffer themselves to be decci-
we'd any longer by Whig professions of regard
for the mechanic and laborer, which are gener-
ally made in great profusion about election
times-ond forgotten Immediately after.
