NATIVE AMERICANISM.
The Native Americans and whigs ta
nked at the late election in the city and
county of Philadelphia, nnd defeated
the democratic candidates by large ma
jorities. Shunk, the democratic candi
date for Governor, is elected, however,
by some five thousand majority.
;! That the whigs and native Ameri
cans would unite their strength, was
predicted. " The whigs voted for the
native candidates for Congress, and the
natives supported the whig candidate
for Governor. By this means was the
democratic party defeated ia the coun
ty of Philadelphia. It cannot longer be
denied by the whigs, Mat nativeism is
whiggery under another name. Should
Henry Clay be elected President, we
may look for a return to the Alien and
Sedition laws of old John Adams. Will
you then, friends of free government,
cast your votes for such men.
The Wheeling Argus says the whigs
of that city gave three cheers for the
native Americans, when they received
the news from Philadelphia.
BRITISH GOLD.
'. The whig papers are publishing an
article, the purport of which is that
British gold lias been sent to this
country to aid the cause' of Polk and
Dallas. That this is a a whig Roor
back lie, every candid man, at first
blush, can discover. What foreigners
wish the establishment of a U. S. Bank?
The British. What party in this coun
try are in favor of that measure? The
whigs. What foreign power seeks
the control of Texas and Oregon? The
British. Who, in this country, oppose
the annexation of Texas? The whigs.
, Who oppose the armed occupation ol
Oregon. The whigs. Then why would
the British send money to aid the cause
of Polk and Dallas? This cry has been
raised bthe whig?, for fear something
of the kind might be proved on them,
as several of titer loaders have lately
been to England, and among them
James Watson Webb, who received
52,000 to abandon his opposition to a
United States Bank.
The editor of the Alaretla Democrat
osks us to publish a sung by one of
"Swing's poetical under-strappers," en
titled the "Banner county." He says
it A'ill ensure us 300 more to our alrea
dy astounding democratic majority.''
We will comply with your request,
friend Carrol, notwithstanding we have
once published it. Our increase since
'40 is 2-15 on the Governors election.
We will publish this ,4song" once more,
and we think we will add 170 to our
present majority on the first day of
November, making it 1400.
It appears to us that there are some
whigs in this county so party ridden,
that if Henry Clay or any ofliis larger
satellites woulc ask them to ''black their
boots or shoes? they would comply
without a murmur. They would wil
lingly become the "white slaves" of the
Dictator Clay. Such whigs, we have
no hopes of converting by the publica
tion of this song.
But the song:
"THE BANNER COUNTY.
Ye statesmen of every condition,
Your sympathies freely bestow,
Anu help to esiuwisi: a mi-sion,
Among the dark hills oCAlonroe.
These Locos, poor ignorant creatures,
In darkness are sunered to co;
. School-teachers, schoool-houses, and
preachers,
Have seldom been seen in Monroe.
,No "sciences" there they unravel,
: Neither reading nor writing they
know;
You'll find, if up Duck Creek you travel
1 he jumping oil place in Monroe.
There all are united no faction
For Cass nor Van Buren they know;
Poor devils! thty think uen. Jackson,
Is President yet, in Monroe.
Over these barren hills, should you
travel,

You'll find lots of weasel and 'possum,
- But coons starve to death in Monroe.
The few noble whigs there can save it,
' Or, 'twould have been sunk long ago,
But now, if they ever should leave it,
- Good bye to the Banner Monroe.
''OREGON. The whigs, layi the Hartford
Timet, are very-careful not to touch the question
of taking possess ion of the Oregon. They would
u readily yield our possessions on the Pacific to
British arrogance or British gold as they did the
large territory of Maine. Give us every loot of
American soil that is our own, and we should be
glad to see British power and British Gold eipelled
from North America. They have too long been
permitted to occupy our soil in the West Mr.
Clay once, most improperly, proposed giving up
bout one-half of that territory to the Biitish to sat
isfy the rapacity of that aggressive nation. And
the Federal policy would give up that, and more,
THE ELECTIONS
OHIO.
The returns for this State are so very
incomplete, that we cannot form a cor
rect idea of the result of the election for
Governor. We have good authority
for saying, that there will not ba much
over 500 majority either way. So
close is the vote, that the democrats
feel confident of carrying the Slate by
some thousands. Our opinion i?, that
there are in the whig ranks thousands
of men, who are conscientiously oppos
ed to supporting men, who are notori
ously addicted to GAMBLING, PRO
FANITY and DUELLING. And for
the proof of each of these charges on H.
Clay, we refer our readers to this
day's paper. In the State '-we have
gained three members ol Congress, and
probably lost two. The Senate and
House are whig. We will give the fu'l
returns for Governor as soon as receiv.
cd.
From the V healing Argus.
LATEST FROM PEANSYLV.INLL
We have returns (not official) from
all the counties in the State but C. The
majority for Shunk (deni.) thus far is
about 4500. The counties to hear from
will increase this majority, if we may
judge from former elections, to about
5,000. Well done Pennsylvania De
mocracy they have elected
A Democratic Governor;
A democratic Majority of Congress
men. A Democratic Majority of both bran
ches of the State Legislature, which
will insure a Democratic U. S. Sena
tor.
GOOD NEWS FROM GEORGIA.
The news from Georgia, so far as
returns have beenreceived, is most
cheering to the democrats. The dem-
cratic train in 19 counties is 100
since 1840, and a whig loss of 538
when compared with 1843. Present
returns indicate a complete triumph for
democracy. lb.
NEW JERSEY.
This state has gone for the coons at
the late election lor Governor. Stat
ion (co m) will be it Thompson (:lem)by
a majority of 1400, so the coon papers
say. Harrison's majority in 1840 was
2217. A gain ol 817 lor democracy.
-lb.
DELAWARE.
This State has given a democratic
majority of 82, at the election for As
sessors and Inspectors. So say our
exchanges.
THE ELECTION.
From the returns in we cannot de
cide how the State h;s gone, but one
thing is certain, that more open frauds
upon the ballot box never were com
mitted in any Str.te, oratany time, than
were witnessed yesterday in Ohio taking-this
city as a sample. Five of
the pipe-layers were taken up list even
ing in this city and bailed by Messrs.
Ridgway and Greenwood, two whig
leaders, in the sum of $500,00 each.
This h but the beginning, however.
If our elections aro to be controlled by
such means, they are as nothing. No
bribery no corruption no falsehood
was too heinous to be put in practice.
Mr. Kelley may well admit again, that
his party has 'pipe-layed like the devil.'
Some men have been engaged in this
system of fraud upon the ballot boxes
that may suppose they stand too high
to he readied by law, but they will find
that they are mistaken. O.'iio States
man, Oct. 9.
HOW TRUE.
Daniel Webster was one of a com
mittee who reported the Mb wing res
olution, among others, at a meeting in
Boston, in 1820:
"Resolved, That we are equally incapable of
discovering its (the prohibitory tariff) effects upon
agriculture, since the obvious consequence of its
adoption would be, that the farmer must give
more for all he buys and receiee less for all he
sells."
How true this has proved by the op
eration of the present tarilf. Its efiect
has been to make the farmer pay more
for what he buys, and get less for what
he sells, than he did un.ier Mr. Clay's
old compromise act, which was the
established and unchanged tariff sys
tem ot the country trom 1833 until
1842. Detroit Free Press.
TAXES! TAXES!!
At tho request of the Treasurer of
this county, we publish the following
section of the law passed last winter,
in relation to tho payment ol taxes:
' Sec. ' 2. That when any person is charted on
the duplicate with tax on real estate and tax on
chattel or personal property, the payment of tax
on such chattel or personal property shall not
release it whilst in his possession, from liability to
be distrained for the payment of tax on such real
estate, unless the person in whose name such
premises are charged shall satisfy the county treas
urer that the same are not his property, and are
erroneously charged in his name for taxation; but
the treasurer shall be authorized and required, in
all cases where any person, properly charged with
taxes on real estate, has personal property within
the ajaunty, to distrain the same for the payment of
sucn tax, and the county auditor shall accept from
the treasurer, in his return of delinquencies, no
assignment of course cause for such delinquency
of landed estate, except that the owner is a non
resident of the county, that such premises were
erroneously taxed, that no personal property could
be found, or, that property 4 when seized waa not
sold for want of bidders.
COMMON SCHOOL CONVENTION.
At an adjourned meeting ot the common school

PROTECTION TO LABOR.
The pretence of the tariff men that their system
raises the wages of labor, is mathematically and
demonstrably false.
There are four millions of laborers in the United
States. To raise their wages even 12 and a half
cents per day, would require the sum of one
hundred ahd fifty millions of dollars annually.
Now the total amount of all the private property
in the U. States is about five thousand millions.
And the nett income of all this property, consist
ing of rents, interest dividends, &c. cannot exceed
3 per cent., which would amount to one one
hundred and fifty millions only per annum. So
that it would take the nett product of all the
private properly of the Union to raise the rate of
wages, by law, 12 1-2 cents per day. If, therefore,
wages were raised in that manner, dividends arid
income from property would bo destroyed. Yet
we see that Abbot Lawrence, Nathan Appleton,
and other large manufacturing capitalists at the
north, have their dividends in cotton mill stock
increased from G to 10, 20, 30, and even 40 per
cent. If their property, then does not pay the
enhanced wages of labor whose property does ?
The truth is, the wages of labor, even at Lowell,
have scarcely been crihanc cd at all. It is only the
dividends of the mill owners that have been pro
tected to enormity. And to swell those dividends
the property and labor of the west and south have
been plundered, and that plunder has been effected
hy the two fold process of raiding the prices of
cotton mill fabrics, and reducing the value of farm
and plantation produce. Both of which have Vein
done. Louisville Vi tnoeral.
MATTERS WORTH RECOLLECTING.
Here are some of the promises made by the
Whigs in 1840 :
They would appoint no member of Congress to
office.
They would make no removals for opinion's sake.
They would reduce the expenditures.
They would pay off the national debt.
They would separate the "purse and the sword'
from the hands of the Executive.
They would make a sound and uniform national
currency
They would i egulate the 'exchanges.''
They would raise the price of produce.
They would increase the wages of labor.
They would "relieve the people.".; -,
How have these promises been kept? This is a
fair question. Let us see the answer :
1. On the very d.iy Gen. Harrison took the
chair; ay, before he had time to warm the seat, four
Whig members of Congress were appointed to
Cabinet offices, and since tha' time the number of
members of Congress confirmed in office by the
Whig Senate is greater than at any previous period
since the time of Washington.
2. Mr. Granger, the Postmaster General, remov
ed 1,700 postmasters during his brief power, "for
opinion's sake," and subsequently boasted that, if
he had continued in office, he should have guillotin
ed 5,000 more.
3. The Whig Congress, when it adjourned on
the 3d of March, 1843, left a national debt of near,
ly fifty-nine millions. When Mr. Van. Bu
ren retired it was about 5,000,000. Heaven only
knows what it would now have been had not Presi
dent Tyler iuterposed the veto power.
The expenditures during Mr. Van Buren's last
year were 22,351,147. During the first year of
the "retrenchment" Whigs they were $26,394,
242, and during the next two years averaged near
$23,000,000.
4. The "purse and sword" were separated by a
law passed under Van Buren's administration, im
posing a fine and penalty on all who use the public
money for private purposes.
The Whigs as soon as they came into power,
united the "purse and sword" again, by repealing
this law without providing a substitute.
5. Having done nothing to improve the currency,
of course they have not kept that promise. The
currency was good when they commenced their
attack upon it, audit is good now, but no thanks to
them. It regulated itself, as the Democrats always
said it would. And as to the "exchanges," there
was no more regulation under a National Bank
than there has been since.
6. Under the Whig Administration, the prices
of produce and the wages of labor have been reduced-,
notwithstanding the Whigs promised the
people "two dollars a day and roast beef," and
"belter times."
THE HOME MARKET.
The whigs told us in 1C40 that if the
country could have a tariff which would
protect the New England manufac
tures so that they could extend their
business, it would create a homo mar
ket for the consumption of the farm
ers' produce, and thus raise its price.
And what is the result? The tariff
passed; the whig papers tell us the
manufacturers are thriving finely under
it, making their 20 and 30 per cent
profiu. But what are the farmer get
ting? Let the price current of the
markets tell. The'great staple of the
west, wheat, is not more than ono third
of a crop this year, and yet the price is
lower now than it has been for many
years. -4 Detroit Ft ee Press.

Buhlinctox, Licki.ng Co., O , Dec. 1. 1815.
. Messrs. Joslin &, Rowe : At your request I
herewith transmit to you a statement of the case of
Mrs. W liner and child, as near as I am able to com
municate, w hich you are at liberty to publish if you
see tit, as I feel a desire to inform the world of the
effects of the invaluable medicine called Wistar's
Balsam of Wild Cherry to which, by the divine
blessing, I am indebted for the restoration to health
of aiy wife and child.
About five years ago, Mrs. Wimer was attacked
with a violent cough, pain in the che-t and side,
aud symptomscfapproachiugcousumjition,. Dur
ing the intervals from that time to sometime iu
February last, she had b?en treated by eminent
Physicians fror.i Utica, Sylvania, Homer, Chat
ham and Nevv.u k,aud with only partial relief of the
most urgent sjmptoais. About one year ao, she
caught a violent cold, which seated upon the Lungs,
producing an alarming aggravation of all her pre
vious syintoi.'is. Her Physician was sent for, and
despite his best efforts, she began rapidly to sink
under her disease. Couh, Expectoration Hectic,
together with night sweats', soon reduced her to a
complete skeleton. In February last, her attend
ing Physician, deemed her case altogether hopeless,
a council wts called, t'.n'i after deliberating upou
her cu-:e unanimously pronounced her to be beyond
the leach of means, and expressed their opinion
that she could survive but a short time, one or two
week3 at farthest. She was at this time entirely
confined to her bed, aud scarcely uble to articu
late, except in a whisper. Her daily paroxysms of
couching would last her unintcruptedly from 3 to
0 hours, and so severe were they, that we did ex
pect that every paroxysm would be the last The
physicians in council pronounced her Lungs. Liv
er, Kidneys, Spine, and Mucus Membrane of the
Stonach to be incurably diseased. It was at this
last extremity that we happened to obtaiu a pam
phlet describing Dr. Wittar's Balsam of Wild
Cherry, as applicable to Lung affections. We im
mediately sent to you and procured a bottle, and
commenced its use at evening by giving her one
teaspoon full, and such waa the surprising effect,
that she was able to pass a comfortable night's rest,
without experiancing any paroxysm of coughing,
and such was its ultimate effect, that after taking
five bottles she was, contrary to the expectations
of her physicians, and every one who saw her, en
ttrely restored to health; and since last summer has
done the entire woik of her family. After the last
attack of Mrs. Wimer, our youngest child, then an
infant at the brei'ot was taken down, and rapidly
sinking, with the same symtoms as its mother, and
seeing the happy enect ol ttie lialsam in the case
of the mother, we were disposed to make trial of it
for the child, and it was attended with the same
perlect success-
The above statement can be attested by our phy
sician as well as our ncigldiors and acquaintances,
who saw Mrs. Wimer during the course of her
sickness.
Very truly, yours. &c.
JOHN WIMER.

Dear Sin: I owe it to the alilicted to inform
you that in January lastl was attacked by a very
violent cold caused by working in water, which
settled on my lungs. It was accompanied by a
very severe pain iu my breast and side, and also a
distretv lii'; coup.h. 1 had in attendance all the best
medical aid in our village, and after exhausting
their skill to no avail they pronounced my disease
a confirmed Consumption, aud one and all gave
me up to die. After much persuasion I got the
consent of my physician to use Wistar's Balsam of
Wild Cherry prepared by Dr. Wistar. I purchas
ed ol the agent in our place one bottle, before us
ing hall of w hich, I began to gain strength, and it
was very evident my cough was a great deal better,
and my symptoms in every way improving. I
have now used three bottles, and am restored to
health. The result is alone owing to the use ot
Dr. Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry, arid I take
this method of giving you the information, partly
to pay the debt of gratitude I owe you, and partly
that others similarly alilicted may know where to
apply for relief.
- Respectfully and truly youis,
JAMES SAGE.

The following is from a distinguished lawyer of'

with the Asthma for upwards of " TWENTY '
YEARS;" and who after reading such eases.
can doubt the efficacy of this medicine?
New York, January 25, 1843. '
I have been afllicied with spasmodic asthma for
twenty-tour years sometimes so sev erely as to be
confined to my room for weeks; and although at
tended by various medical advisers, of the highest
reputation and skill in the country, tho relief was;
but partial and temporary twice the disease prov
ed nearly fatal to my life.
Some few weeks ago, I commenced taking Wis
tar's Balsam of Wild Cherry, which gave me
stant relief, and a single botrlle produced iu a few
days what 1 believe to be a radical and perfect cure.
