Be Not Deceived.

There are q few proiessed tariff men who
advocate the election of Mr. White on the
ground that he could effect more with the
powers that be than Mr.. Hale. Nothing
could well be more preposterous than this
The election of Mr. White will be regard
ed as an approval of the doctrines held by
the administration, which are decidedly
averse to anything like Protection. This
can be seen by all who read the Democrat,
whose editor does not hesitate to say that
Democracy, as he understands it, td0ors
free trade, and lays duties only incidentally
We take the reverse of this position, as
held by Mr.. Hale. He favors Protection
to american Industry as first duty Of our
government, and his election from the Cen
trail District will be so hailed and looked
upon from one end of the Union to the
other by all who desire to see us cut loose
from dependence or foreign labor for those
articles we ought to manufacture ourselves.
We think, however, this question Is under
stood by those who are most materially at
fected by the want Of employment, and we
shall be much mistaken if the laboring
men of Miflin county do not, on Tuesday
next, proclaim in tones of thunder their
verdict for JAMES r. HALE AND PRO
lection TO AMERICAN INDUS

The Democrats Opinion of MIR.
Peachev

From the True Democrat. August II, 1855.
For Director of the Poor, JOHN PEACHEY,
of Menno township, one of the staunch and
reliable farmers of Kishacoquillas valley was
nominated, as a man EMINENTLY QUAIL
FLED TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC INTER
ESTS. An effort was last year made, and
will probably be again, to sell the old Poor
House farm, with a view of purchasing one
more eligible and suitable, and therefore it is
important that A PRUDENT, SAFE, AND
DISCRIMINATING MAN be elected as Di-
rector of the Poor, for should the project be
carried out, reckless disregard of the public
interests, such as was manifested in making
jail contracts, might plunge the county into
an inextrieable debt. ALL WHO KNOW
MR.. PEACHEY GUARANTEE HIS ABIL-
ITY AND INTEGRITY FULLY EQUAL
TO THE DISCHARGE OF THE IAIPOR-
TANT TRUST the Democracy desire to COM
nit to his keeping.

DR.. Bower before the Election
Last Year.

From the True Democrat of September 10, 1857
ave have FULL AUTHORITY for saying
that DR.. Bower will not vote for any appro-
priation to the Sunbury and Eric Railroad
Company. No such project is er has been
contemplated, and no such appropriation ask
ed for by that Company. This the Gazette
knows as we'll as we do-and yet it has the
unfairness to allege that Dr. Bower is commit
ted to such action. But further, our candi-
date, DR.. Bower, is opposed in toto to GRANT
ING THE CREDIT OF THE STATE as a
loan OR IN ANY OTHER SHAPE, either
to the Sunbury and Erie Rail- oad Company
or to any other corporation for any amount
whatever. Will the Gazette do the Democrat
ic party and its candidates the common justice
to say so, now that it has repeatedly alleged
and insinuated the contrary?"
Part Of another article in the same paper.7
There is not district in the State in which
the Sunbury and Erie bill is now made the
issue, and not single newspaper, of any pol
itics, las far as we can fnd,) advocates the
passage of any bill for the relief Of, or to aid
the construction of that road. A Democratic
legislature last winter coted dotcn the Sunbury
and Erie bill, by very emphatic majority ;
and should the next legislature be Democratic,
(of which there is no reasonable doubt, we
are satisfied no attempt to pass such bill
will be made, not only because it is well known
at could not pass, but because the contingency
which induced the friends of that road to so
licit pledge of State bonds to aid the Com
pany in obtaining loans, ian appropriation
of money was never asked,) will no longer
exist. The Gazette's incessant harping upon
the appropriation of So, 100000 TO the Sun
bury aud Erie Railroad &c, is, consequent
ly, all combe'-merely to deceive the
people, by making them believe question is
at issue which really is not. y man must be
blind indeed who cannot see into that game
that great cry over little WOOL"

On the final passage of the bill selling

Sunbury and Erie Railroad Company, and
lending the credit of the State by endorsing
the bonds, the vote stood

large packages of the "True Locofoco"
were last week. 1t is not necessary. The
"True Locofeco" is not now regarded as
an exponent of Democracy, but merely as
an organ grinder for oficeholders who pock-
ct their pay in gold, buy cheap British
goods, and then turn up their noses when
working men talk about hard times. When
democrats want to see any thing about gem

one therefore need be surprised if it should

tariffs, and admitting Kansas as a free State,
Notwithstanding he voted that Kansas

for Tom Pepper tales in general, but don't

The CoNTINENTALs-This celebrated
band of vocalists will give one of their
pleasing concerts tomorrow evening in the
Town Hall, when we hope to see a large
audience in attendance. They are said to
be IN better tune than ever, and therefore
fully appreciated, as can be seen by the
annexed notice, which we copy at random
from our exchanges:
In our Judgmen the Continentals" are
the best band Of vocalists extant-and tbe1
are not only accomplished musicians. but IN.
telligent and sociable gentlemen, who win
golden opinions" wherever they 90. Tbov
sing naturally aud effectively, and the audi.
ence is normally moved to sympathize with
them in their sentimental pieces, and laugh
with them in their comica ones. This is the
highest praise that can possibly be bestowed.

The Tariff of 1s46.

The Tariff of 1846.
The Democrat, in company with the Bu-
chanan prints, is using every scheme to
make its readers believe that the tariff has
nothing to do with the present hard times.
People, living beyond their means of course
will break whether times are good Or bad
those who are deeply in debt will break
mechanics who notprocurep purchasers
for their goods except at loss-and labor
ers who can procure no work, will either
break or become poorer every day. And
this too holds good in us as a nation. In
stead of fostering our own industry and
thus building up national prosperity, we
have foolishly followed our rulers ideas OF
progressive free trade, and kept the work
shops of Europe in motion and suffered
ours to stand idle. When they have mel
ther wheat nor other agricultural produc-
tions. they take ours because they cannot
help it; but when their crops are good they
don't want our wheat, &C., but kindly offer
to supply us with cotton and woollen goods,
with iron, and thousand other things that
would give employment to millions in this
country, if made here. Here is some of
the work of this boasted tariff of 1916.

CATION" for 1856, made up by the Treasury

Contrast this with the expenditures of 1852,
which were $40, ,3S9, ,954 Here is an increase
of expenditure of more than fifty millions of
dollars, in time of peace, during period of
widespread commercial disaster, when rigid
economy is imperatively required and all our
resources should be faithfully husbanded.
A sense of honor, of justice, and of right,
requires US to repudiate this Enthusiastically
Administration, and to defeat it's candidates,
and show by our votes that we disclaim all
part and lot with them.
We therefore entreat all true lovers of their
country throughout the Commonwealth to
support and vote for the candidates of the
People. They are honest, competent and
faithful they stand upon the platform of pop.
ular rights, and of just protection to all
They deneunce the Lecompton Iniquity and
the infamous English Bill, and will resist Ex-
ecutive usurpations. They will assert the
right of the people to the last to ordain their
own Constitution, and the duty of the Goce,n-
ment to afford .fitH and adequate protection 10
homs tabor. They will earnestly contend for
policy which shall be stable, and thereby
secure prosperity that will be safe.
Vote, then, for the candidates of the Peo-
pie; place upon the Supreme Bench John NJ
Read, man of known integrity and of tried
capacity, in whose knowledge of the law, and
in whose sense Of right all men may confde;
send to the national Congress, and to the State
Legislature, men who will truly and ably rep
resent your real interests. We pray you,
each and all. to realize your individual respon-
sibility and the importance of every vote.
Arouse to instant and earnest action. EN-
ploy every honest effort Let every man do
his whole duty and all will be we'll

All the articles above enumerated could
be readily manufactured in this country,
and ought to be. How far they would go
towards giving employment to thousands
now idle any fool can estimate. And now
let US look for a moment at the policy of
these countries from which we import so
largely. Among the articles prohibited
from being introduced into France are the
following:
Fire arms for Soldiers.

Bombazine.
Boots, for men, women and children.
Brass Wire, Polished, and all other manufac

Where duties are laid in France they
are altogether protective, and thus afford
employment to heavy population which
would otherwise be idle, as the following
list will show in the article of iron:

than 500 pounds Sl4 25
Iron ore 4G

These examples are sufficient to show
every workingman in the land, whether
farmer, mechanic, OF laborer, the fallacy Of
the doctrine of late years preached up as
democratic by speculating leaders and of
ficehoders 1t has now closed our manu-
factories, thrown out Of employment hun
dreds of thousands who formerly gained
good liyelihoods out Of them, and brought
poverty and want to many doors where it
had been previously unknown. For these
things there is but one remedy, and that is
a return to the good old system under which
labor prospered. That system is represen-
ted by JAMES T. HALE-the tariff which
encourages such ruinous importations like
the above by Allison White, and as you
vote, so will you reap.
