The ELECTIos.-This is the last paper many
of our readers will see before the election,
which occurs on next Tuesday, and we desire
to urge upon every one who processes the prin-
ciples we advocate, to be earnest, active, and
vigilant in their support. Weknow that many
persons. look upon this election as unimpor-
tant and trivial-a mere county affair that can
not effect the great principles of our party
This is fatal mistake. If we desire to secure
the success of those principles we must not
neglect the means by which it is to be accom-
plished, and the very first and most important,
is to fill every office with those who are pledg-
ed TO their support.
There is no Office in the gift of the people,
however paltry, that has not some influence
attached to it, which will tell with effect for
whatever cause it may be welded. 1t is there
fore, all important that this influence should
be exerted in behalf of the great principles we
profess. Let every one, therefore, who feels
an interest in the success of the American par
ty, be at his post on next Tuesday. Leave nc
effort untried to bring out every vote, for il
this be done, the contest may be close but moi
doubtful If every American vote is polled
on next Tuesday, the result will assuredly
prove a glorious victory. AMERICANS tc
the RESCUE!

BEWARE OF LAST CARps.-Our friends will
reccollect the lying circulars and pittiful ap-
psals circulated by the Locofoco leaders on
the eve of the last election. This will no
doubt be repeated during the present week,
and no effort will be spared to accomplish
their unholy schemes. Let every American
beware, and treat such things with scorn and
contempt. Believe no story, however plausi-
BILE, which may be circulated between this and
tho election, to effect the result. Their smag-
nifcent constellation of stump orators, are
again spreading themselves this week, and
are making desperate efforts to enlighten their
fellow citizens. OF course they will not hesi-
tate TO tell any story that viii best subservs
their purposes. Their conduct last fall, ought
to put every one on guard, and no man should
permit himself to be deceived by their spe-
eious tales. Let each man carefully examine
the principles of both parties, and then 60 to
tho polls and deposit his vote for the candi-
dates who are pledged to tho support of those
which hs conscientiously believes to be right

SAMUEL LINN, Eso.-In his last paper, our
neighbor down street, opens the thunders of
his pent up wrath upon the devoted head of
SAMUEL LINN, Esq, because he had the unpre-
cedented lmpudence to reply to a speech of
His Holiness, Ex-Gov. BIGLER! In his esti-
nation, Gov. Bigler is something more than a
mere man, and is therefore not TO be- treated as
other public speakers. He is to be regarded
as infaiiibfe, a sort of Locofoco Pope, of whom
it is the most henious crime to speak in the
manner that we speak of other men. And be-
cause ssSanr Linn had the temerity to sspitch
into him. after he had clearly laid himself
open to attack, he is to be tried by the two
great sscariinals" of the ssorgin,'' and his con-
duct pronounced'a ssdisgroce 10 tie dignity Of
the bar,'' and ssstan to the character of a
lawyer and a gentleman!''
If Gov. Biglef was insulted by Mr.. Linn's
speech, his ssfellow citizens of Clearfeld" are
to blame for having receired ii 1cih shouts Of ap-
plau,e, Every sally was greeted with enthu-
siastic cheers, and the fact is, that nearly all
those who were present, expressed the opinion
that his ssgrandioquence'' didn't get more
| than half as much he deserved. If Gov.
Bigler was s'goose" enoughto get up on the
stand and compare himself to .sJoseph, who
wore the coat of many colors, and was sold by
his brethren is Mr.. Linn to be denounced
! for CARRYING out the illustration2

VALENTINE HEvENER.-In the last number
of the ssorgin,"i. i. a letter purporting to be
written by VALENTINE HEvENER, the Ameri-
can Candidate for Auditor, declaring that he
is not member of the Order, and that he in
tends to support the Democratic ticket. ID is
only necessary for us to say to our friends,
that not one word of that letter was ever writ
ten 10y VALENTINE HEvESER, and that on the
evening of the day when it purports to have
been written, he was sitting with US in the
American Council in this town, which met in
the Office e. S. Dundy. He then and there
expressed his entire willingness to have his
Americdnism avowed, and to be run as a can
didate on the American ticket.
When LocofocOism is driven to such an ex-
tremity, it must indeed be in a hard strait,
and all their circulars, letters, and appeals
should be treated in the same way with this,
as vile forgery. In this instsnce especially,
their anxiety caused them to overstep the
mark, for any man who is acquainted with Mr..
HEvENER, knows that the language attributed
to him in that letter never eninatet from his
brain. He is a true American, and will be
triumphantly elected on next Tuesday.

New CANDIDArE.-The Republican State
Committee met at Harrisburg on Thursday
last, and after comforting with committees of
other parties opposed to the present Admins
tration and the Kansas Outrage, withdrew the
name OF PAssMohE WILLIAMSON as candidate
for Canal Commissioner, and nominated in his
stead THOMAS NICHOLSON, of Beaver. 1t is said
that Mr.. Nicholson is well. qualified, having
seen mnch public service, and that if all par

HENRY SouTHER, Esq.-On Tuesday last,
we learned for the first time, that election
for candidate for Senate had been held in the
Order in Elk, M.Kean, Potter and Tioga, and
that HENRY SoUrHER, of Elk, had received the
solid vote. He is, therefore, the candidate
instead of Mr.. Lucas, who received the vote
of the Order in Jefferson and Clearield.
In raising Mr.. Souther's name, though Mr..
Lucas was our first choice, we can most cheer
fully pledge him our earnest and hearty sup
port We know him to be able lawyer, a
firm and unwavering opponent of the Kansas
Nebraska iniquity, and thorough American,
opposed to foreign influence and the encroach-
ments of political Catholicism. We have the
fullest confidence in his honesty, integrity
and ability. He will undoubtedly receive the
entire American vote of Clearfeld.
