On tlio Norlh Branch Canal tliey ^'ivc the good fiimls of thc Stnto to Cortlon V. Ma- .¦^on anil Johu Laporte—two as bitter Lo¬ cofocoa ns any ono need desire to seo— and iheso men in return furnish fioiii their shaving .shop ragged dcpreeiatod sniall uotes of other States. The Canal officers contrnry lo law, eoiiipol the la¬ borers to take this filthy currency or mi without pay I This is thc w.iy Locofuco Canal officers treat poor men on the North Branch.    They aro  treating  theni
even worso on   the  Delaware  Division.	
They huve pnid them for but one month's work for rtore than a year past. Head tho following from the Easton Whig of thc 3d inst:
" We hoar complaints from every quar¬ ter against tho Canal Commissioners, for tlioir conduct on the Delaware Division of the Pennsylvania canal. Whilst othor .sections of tho State are receiving tlieir pay, and the Commissionors aro prosocu- ting oxtensivo experiments on tho Por¬ tage, and elsewhere, tlic Dolaw.'iro .Divi¬ sion, the most profitable section in the State, is roblicd and defrtinded of tho very money which she pours into the public treasury.
The hands who keep the canal in or¬ der have received but one month's pay for more than a yeur past. If these gen¬ tlemen sapposo that the peoplo along the J)elawarc Division are to be forever com¬ pelled to wait till tho last, they aro mi.s- takon. Wo know that thc appropriations for the Delaware Division of our Canal wero largely increased the last session of tho Legislature. Whnt hns become of the money? It is a disgrace to tho Com¬ inonwealth th.-it hcr laborers are deprived of their honest earnings. If an individ¬ ual should pretend to earry on hniiruvc- ments nnd keep his laborers out of their money for a yciir at a tnno, ho would not hold up his head in society. AVhy shall the agents of tho Stato bo allowed so to disgraco hor ? We say again, let this bo looked to. Lot our laborers havo their rigts; thoy a.sk no favor—nothing hut tlieir hard carniugs to be paid to them, in order that they may discharge tiio claiins upon tlicm. Wo shall refer to this suliject again unless the evil is remedied."
The objoct of thc Cunal Coimuissiou- ers is mauifest.    They desire to  bnild  up
it floating debt unauthorized by the Leg- liiturc nud in the incantiuic allow their servants to u.so thc nioney approjiriated for repairs to fill their pocket.s or electioneer for William Bigler. We havc had enough of this villany. It .shall not be practiced any longer with our consent. Wc deuiand to know to what uso the money has been appliod wbich thc Legislature appropria¬ ted to keep up the Dclnwnn; Division of tho Canal i Why havc tho laborers not been paid ! Who has thc money just ly belonging to them ? Arc Locofoco offi' cers not content with robbing thc .State ? Must thoy rob laborers also '.
Wliy is lit tliey Don't Answer T
For soveral weeks we have been sceki an explanation of certain facts which are proved by tho Ileeords ef the State. Thc Locofoco press havc not oondesceiidod to give tho necessary explanation, aud briefly present them again in the hopo of meet ing with better .success. We wish lo kuow,
1st. Why no foes vvcro cvor paid from the office of thc Secretary of tlie Com nionweiilth into the Stato Treasury for tin fourteen months, elapsing between April l,-<t, 1S43, nnd Junc 1st, 1844?
•2d. What was the name of the clerk in the Secretary's offioo, who for eight years receivod §700 per year for recording  tho laws: although hc never  recorded a singl line I. *
."d. Wliy was it that in 184ri-'40-'4' and '48, tho onliro amount received by tho Stato from tho Enrollment of Laws vvas only $9,080, whilst with the same prices, (iov. Johuston in 181!) and '50 received $120,035 f
4tli. AVhy vvas it that so sniall an amount v,as ever, under formor Locofoco Adminis- t'-rlions, paid into tho State Treasury as la.'c ou taxable eommissions issued by tho Oovernor. In 1845 but §259 39 wcro accounted for, altliough about one thou¬ sand commis.sions wore issued to Justices of tho I'eaco, on oach of vvhich thc law imposed a tax of §2 '!
Sth. Why vvas it that, taking the yearn 1845-'10-' 17-'48-'t9 and '50, over EIVE TIIOUSAND DOLL-iRS more were every year spent for public printing by Locofooo Logislalurcs, than when the ^\'higs con¬ trollod thp Logisiaturo f    And
()th. Why was it that, taking 1813-'44- '4,5-'40-' 17-' 18-'4n nnd '50, the avcr.ige annual Legislative expenses were underlhc Locofocos NlNIiTY-RIOUT THOUS¬ AND SEVEN llUNDKEl) ANDETtill- TY DOLL.\KS AND NlNETY-TllltEE (JENTS, whilst under tho Whigs thoy wero only l.'l FTY-E 111 IIT TJlOl'SANl) SEVEN HUNDKED AND FOHTY-ONE DOLLAUS it TWENTY-FIVE (^ENTS over FORTY TIIOUSA.ND DOl,- LABS less than under Locofoco rule f
When these are explained wo will havo somo more ipicslions lo ask. Wo com¬ mend tiio early nltcntiun of Locofoco Edi¬ tors to these FACTS, which ovonthcy ilare uot deny !—Daily ..tmfrican.

Few peoplo have any conception of thc slupendous sum, whicii is designed by this term. Somo writer having stated in an article licndod wli&t becomes of all the pins? that million of billions of pins must vanish, nobody can tcll how or vvhere, in the courso of a ycar, Euclid, a correspon- dent of thc Nationnl Intelligencer, show; up the absurdity of the assertion in the following stylo :
I think, .sirs, the author »f that article tho't little of vvhat he was .saying, when ho said that millions of billions mu.st vnni.sh in thc course of a ycar. .Many pins, un¬ doubtedly, vanished every year ; but any luathoiiiatician will demonstrate to us that a single billion has never yet beon iiianu¬ factured. A billiiiii aceoi-ding to Noah Wobstor, is a million of iiiilliuns—a num¬ ber, so va.':!, I .i.'iy, that thc liiiiiian inind has not the capaeity to comprehend it.— A manufaclory making one hundred piu' minute, and kept hi constant nperalion, would (inly make fifty-two millions fivo Iiundred and ninety-six thousand per an¬ num, and would rOipiire iiciit twenty thou¬ sund years, at the same ratio, without a single moments cessation, to mnke the num" bor called a billiun

To our miud, there appears to be m hope of escape for the United Slales I'i mi her present financial embarrasments, th.an in a ehange of hcr present revenuo i^yslein. As wo arc novv sitnated, wc .appear to be tlie mcrc shoj)keopers of J']iigland for the goods which shc manufactures for us out of our own materials. So long as this is tho case, so long must we, ui our judge¬ ment, play this sniall second part, and our coiu be at her coininand.
To the gold of California, the United States is only a .sort ofhalf-w.ay house, i^ its journey to England. For instance, the last Chagres steainer brought the largo snu! of ono million eight huudred thousand dol¬ lars : but scarcely had .she landed her pre¬ cious cargo before thc sicamship Africa sailed vvilh eight hundred and fifty-seven thousand dollars of it, or that, whicii lhi.s vvas to replace. Three days after—last Friday—the ('ily of Manchester sailed vvith two hundred and Ihii'ly-eight thou¬ sand dollars ; and on Saturday, the Baltic followed with five hundred and thirty-eight thousand more. Thus, hi the .space nf a week, we received §1,800,000 from Cnli¬ fornia, and .scud §1,033,000 lo Englaiid, to say nolhing about that carried away by the packet ships for the .sftme destination. This is only a siiglc instance in the opera¬ tion of the systeni.
How much better for all our people—ex¬ cept pei'haps, a fevv importing nierclninls aud ship owners,—ivould if bo, if wo fos¬ tered our own manufaclures, and thereby create a home ji.vrket for dur produee, and keep our coin in the couutry. It is a woll established principio in political e- conomy, lhat Ihe cost of transportation must always be borne liy tho producer; hence tho advantago that a iiiakct at our doors must havc over a foreign one, three or four Ihousand miles off.—Gcrmantoirn Telegraph.
Is Col. Kiglcr ail AI>o!i(ioiiist ?
Nolwilhstanding nil the prul'i.-s.sioiis of Col. Bigler and his frieuds, that ho is pm- .slavery, and goes for slavery llirough thick and thill, oven for its re-cstablLshuK'nt in tho land of Penn, those vvho .see him ns- sooi.'ileil with and supjiorled by such Free Soil leaders as Wilmot & (}o.. must .suspect his honesty. If (Vil. ]5igler is not an Abolitiouist, ivhy do his friends rely upon the free-soil vote for his election ^ Why do Ihey boast that tho free soil volo of Bradford and the northern counties will go lor hiin and elect bim ?
If Col. Bigler is not an Abolitionist, win dill he put bim.self under the control of Daviii AVilmot and his freo soil friends, when he visited Bradford county ? AYiiy did ho sil in convenlion aiiiJ receive the nt¬ tention and caresses of theso men, wIkhii the locofoco org.'in.s dcnounoo as "enemies and traitors to their country?', Why Ii (jol. Bigler in "sweet council" with such men? aud why ims hc employed as editor of tho Uuion ofiice, a mau vvho formerly edited AVilmot's freo-soil paper in Bradfurd counly? If Col. Bigler is not lin Aboli¬ tionist, ivhy is it that his ivhole hopes of election rests upon abolition votes? Aud he as well as his friends all kuinv iinh'Ss lie gels the whole vote ofhis Abolition I'ricnds iu the North, hc will be boat at least TWENTY THOUSAND IN THE STATK !'

Judge it by their three last caniliilules for the Presidency, ,^|artill \'aii Huron was a Federalist, and voled lo deprive poor men of the right to vole. James K. Pulk W.IS a Federalist, and his grandfutlnr was a tory in the llovolution. Lewis Cils.^ was an ancient Federalist, and even iu thi.^ latter day cxhihits his love for old Feder¬ al iloetrines lit overy opportunity, .lames liuchauan, who is now proposed as their candidate for 185'2, it is vvell known, long ago disclaimed the possession of a single drop of democratic hlood.

Wc think that il is about time for the I'ariucrs to begiu to iuipiire aftor thc v\ hereabouts of their great friend, the T.iriH' of 184(i. Their great eueiniqs Uio Irou-mastors, dre [irotty well used up; half the Furnaces are out of blast—tho Forgfe^ hainniers arc stopped—tho niiuing of Coal and Iron goes on very slowly, aud thc tolls on tho Public Works arc protty seriously reducid, so far as thoso articles arc concern- oil. The way to Europe, though,—that great foreign Markot vvhich v\as to )iay them so splendidly for Iheirgrain and flour, is wido opc.n —nearer at hand than e;v'sf tbroiight the operations of stcaiu; and surely now Ihcy are rotiping golden rewards for their products. Providence has beeii bountiful, and has blessed their labors with au abinidaiit harvest of "the finest of v.heal," liOJivy, round, ripe nnd rich; bnt what has the jiolicy of iiiiiii doue for thoiii( III 1847,, when Ihe Irish famine and tha failure of eonlincul.il Eurojican crops caus¬ ed a deniiiud for Ainerican breadsluffs, hoiv our Locofuco friends boasted oftheir Tar¬ ifl' of 1840! Then wheat went up t,o $2 a bushel, .and flour to §9 and §10 a barrel; and the h'arincrs wore lold lo look at that, and see what their true and only frieuds, tho Locofocos, had done fur them. There wero the fruils of llic Tarift' of 1840.— Well that Tarifi' is slill iu being—-tho Lo¬ cofoco majorily in Congress, notivithstand¬ ing JMr. Fil.t.MoitK's urgent re'feiiimueiida- tiuii.s, refuse to jicrniit Iheir darling to be touidicil; and what now arc the prices of grnin? (coiiig down—down—down ! — Wheal is 70 •cents a ini.-^hel—flour hardly brings §4 a barrol on lime; and tiiere is no prospect of a change for the belter.— I'very successive arrival from Euiope Iirings iutelligence like this :
.'Imerican flour DEC LLNE D six¬ pence per barrel—wheat had. declined two pt:nci: per 70 Ihs. h'uioo the mi'iVm^ of tlio Asia on the Kith of August!
All Iho while we are .sending ofi'Califor¬ nia gohl to iiinuirt into our eountry, where ive already have .so huge a surplus, Enni- jiean wheat and flour, in llie.sh.ape of Iron, Collon and Woollen Cluuds, SilKs, i'ic., itc, at the rate of Twu Alilliou.^ and a half of Dollars a nionth ! Well docs tho Harrii¬ burg .HiH-.riciin oxclaiin:
" How admirable is Locnfoco jiolicy l.¬ lt dostroys our I Iome market—makes us depeudent on a foreign inarkel—although that miivket is precarious, and has brought Anicricnn wheat and flour so low that lhe American Farmer cannot sell his grain there at livinir prircs.
