WOOD! WOOD!! WOOD!!!
Thosoof pur subscribers who promised us wood,

TO-MOURQW (Friday) tho election takes
place throughout the County for Borough and
Township officers, and for the Judges and Inspec
tors of Elections. We trust our Democratic
friends will see to it, that the two last mentioned
offices, in particular, ho filled with the proper kind
of men* “A word to the wise ought to be aqffi

Tho Resolutions and Address adopted by the
Stale Convention will be found in this paper.—
-Wo invito for thorn careful and attentive perusal.
So litllo business of importance was transacted
in tho .Legislature during the last week, that we
think U usidoss-to-lake.-up_any _rooin with their,
proceedings—-for this reason we omit the Itfltr of
our correspondent this \vcok._’..lu lieu thereof, Wo

Clouet our refers:
-llAnuisßcaoV MafchlO,
Gcntlcmett—To-day the Whig'Convention as
sembled in this place for the purpose of nominat
ing a Governor, and presuming you would like to
hear of their proceedings, 1 attended the meeting
of that bo«ly. From what 1 could learn, there was
a good deal of trouble In procuring, substitutes to
. .fill vacancies occasioned by the.absence.ofJLhe ap
pointed delegates. This, however, was accom
plished, and the convention was temporarily organ
ized by the appointment of Win. Watts, of Erie,
as Chairman. A Committee was appointed to se
> officers, and the convention adjourned until the
adouioon. Tlnddciis Stevens, Thomas H. Bur
rowes, and the Buck-cyc Blacksmith, a citizen of
• Ohio, appeared to be the prominent managers,'
In the afternoon/ the com.mUt<>6 reported- that
they .had selected Johnll. Ewing*of Washington,
President, and several Vice Presidents and Secre
taries,' whoso names I do not recollect, and there
‘port was agreed to. They then proceeded to the
i> uniu-ili m of u candidate for Governor, and John
Banks, of Reading, was ch.osen, he having recei
ved 127 voles, and Harmar Denny 0. We have
thus, to use the words of a member, of the convon
lion, the question fairly before us, of "Banks a
gainst llur People.”
A motion was made that n committee should bn
appointed to draft resolutions expressive of the
sense of this convention. Mr. Stevens did nolliUe
the idea of appointing a committee or passing any
resolutions, lie said that they had seen the bene
fit in the late contest of making: no declaration of
principles—that they were composed of the frag
ments of all parlies, and it would be belter to let
them all fight on their own hook, without being
committed to any thing. Mr. Clarkson, of ybur
city, was in favor of resolutions, or at least one re
solution in favor of “one.term 1 * !or Governor.—
'This,roused Thaddcns, and ho took strong grounds
against the “one term” doctrine, pronouncing it
-emphatically a humbug! Mr. Clarkson was de
termined to take the sense of .the convention upon"
it. humbug or hot, and pledged himself, if it were
brought forward in no other way, to bring such a
resolution before it'himself. Thnddcus had not
time to get his whlpria operation before UiiTques-.
tion was taken on the appointment of the comrhit
tee, and it was agreed to. Ho'must, however*
have flourished the whip vigorously afterwards,
for the committee, although they repotted a string
of resolutions, through their, chairman, Senator
Reed, took.good care not-to put in any thing like
they: principles,.excepting .an unmeaning resolur
lion about the tariff Jind public lands, and Mr.
CJarkson, for Tear,’os'lie producing a divi
sion* backed’ but of.’ Iua T -jfledgcf about the ono-torm
resolution.*; The Whigs are “whippable articles!”
. The. Blacksmith made a speech in his usual de
cent style*'and aVb\ved liis ; determination of his
becoming a citizen of Pennsylvania; and after he
had concluded his speech lie very politely .re
quested by the convention to iih'gihem a song/
This request he politely complied with, and sung*
I presume out of the “bopk.with Hio yallcrkiver/
a song about as decentas Ills speech. The.usual
preliminary mplibfis to an adjournment were -made
in,ihc,qvening, apd-a. Mr,.-Brown, ofNorihamp
ton, waacalled-4ipon fora speech. i.X stopped to
listen to him for a few minutes, but coinciding l in
opinion, with Thaddeus Stevens ,w h d said, as hc
waft' about.retiring, that He was talking “d—-d
nonsense,” . I.also left, and aftcrwaids understood
that the convention adjourned sine die . '•

M. Van Buren.— The Democratic citizens of
the District of Columbia, to tho number of about
fourteen hundred, waited on President Van Buren,
on tlio- lsi lnst. to tender him their respects and to
take their leave of him, previous to his retiring
from office., The President received them in the
east roonuof the executive mansion, and replied to
tho address of Mr. Ward, in behalf of the citizens,
by assuring the assembly that he fully reciproca
ted ilicir kind feeling, and should gratefully re-_
member their commendation of his public acts;—
Each gentleman'was Iheninlfoduced to thd Presi
dent, Tho addresses wore particularly neat, ap
propriate and patriotic^.
Under this caption the Pittsburg Mercury of tho
•Ith inst. has tho following well-timed and appro
priate remarks:
'l'his is the fourth of March I —This is the day
which, according to federal predictions, is to bring
prosperity to every man, woman and childin these
United States. During the canvass, every one
will remember that the advocates of Tippecanoe
declared that the mp.re lds election would
give a fresh and strong impetus to business, and
,that every branch of trade would be reinvigorated.
His election was achieved, but where arc its cheer-
ing effects on trade and manufactures? They art*
found in the fact that the large manufacturers in
this region, curtailed the wages of their workmen
immediately after the election. They‘are found
iii the fact that country produce has receded in
price, and that the value of the money or “cun.
rency” which we buy it with is becoming less and
more uncertain every day. They are demonstra
ted in the fact that,the banks in Philadelphia and
some other places have resorted to a third suspen.
xion! , They are realizedjn the loss of thousands
by the stockholders and the noteholders of the
Hank of the United States whoso stock sells at
$l7 for. each $lOO of its capital paid in.. And
they are to bo found in the general distrust which
pervades the community—distrust of men in each
other’s honesty and solvency,, and distrust of all
in the solvency of the hanks, and in their ability
to answer the .end pi* their.erbation;
At every stop In the downward progress of
tilings which has followed Harrison’s election,
the federalists,.when reminded of thoir false promi
ses and predictions, would place the period of re
deeming their pledges farther into futurity—but
-generally-pointing,- aa-if--bycommon-consent,-- to
the ilk if March as the happy period. Well, that
time has'arrived, and we now call upon those who
voted for Harrison in the hope that he would make
their affairs prosper, to watch diligently for the
tide that is to “lead them bn to fortune.” We do
hot suppose that a different stale of things would
have been present at this time, if Mr. Van Burcn
had been re-electedffor.the democrats ever denied
that'the operations iff the General Government,
could of shoulcljhave any influence W the private
. pursuits of the popple. Thp distreas and. depres
sion which pervades tho community now, is but
the return by raging fevers and racking pains to
soberness, 7 after the dobauohery.and drunkenness
of speculation, which, started and fostered by the
banks, spread .over the length and breadth of the
country. These pairts and penalties must be. enf
dured. The banking system hap'hpd its parnftral;:
and it is impossible to avoid the penance tveraro
now undergoing. —But-in- Mr, Van Baron's suc
cess there would have; been this

BETTER TIMES !
ECONOMY—FEDERAL CONSISTENCY.
On-the SSd'ulSj on motion of John W. Alien, a
I federal-member'from Ohio, an amendment was
made to the general appropriation bill, antborizing
thoexpondituro of six THOUSAND,DOLLARS,
to purchase furniture for President JHarrison, In
addition to tho 6000,above appropriated he is to
have Ihceprocceds nf alltho old furniture sold,
which added to tlio appropriation now made will
form an amount much greater than has been ex
pended for, tho same purpose by any of his prede
cessors.’ It appears .(.bat Mr. Allen,before moving
in the matter iri Congress, obtained from tho Com
missioner of Public. Buildings, a list of articles,
which in his'.opinidi). Should bo furnished;Gen;
Harrison in bis new Log Cabin. ' Tho following,
which we copy .fromvjho list furnished, must, wp
think, satisfy the friends of the President that his
log cabin notions have all left him since his arrival
within the District of Columbia. Now that ho is
elected, :we have unerring proof that in practice he,
is no .longer .the-, devotee of republican economy
and simplicity. But to the list:
Ono.Gurled Maple French Bedstead, $35 .00
“ Wardrobe,- f • 50 00

Brussels Caifetifor Ante Room, 275,00
'9 ’ . isooo
. Gtorlains for two windows, 00 00
Dinnepsot—-for Dining Room, 1 - 500 00
Bodding(for sixteen servants, ICO 00
Wo mi{»h||;ijd many other items from tho list
furnished,sWftho above must suffice for the pres
ent. Lobjd at it honest men of all parties, but es
pecially do we call upon those who were induced
to vote for Gen. Harrison, under the honest-im
pression that Mr. Van Burcii was extravagant and
aristocratic, to look at it. Before the election it
will bo that the very men who now
vote fur and sanction this extravagance, were upon
all occasions, prating about "Gold Spoons,” Brit
ish Carriage, 4~c. src, their promises to tho people
arp all now,fprgottcn; and we already find tlj'em,-
before the General, has taken tho oath,: making
preparations’ to furnish his house, in a stylo which
has never been equalled, and at an expense which,
must astonish the well meaning portion of the fed
eralists 'themselves. .
“ Bedding fur six(ecn,scrmnts!” think of that ye
plain republicans of -Pennsylvania!—a republican
President with sixteen servants at his heels. Queen-
Victbria has scarce so many, and it is doubtful
whelhcr-Louis Phillippe, can boast of a more for
midable household retinue.

public buildings did not deem such an appropria
tion necessary, and therefore reported no bill, but
so anxious, were tho particular friends of Hie Gen
eral upon the subject, that Mr. 'Alton, without
consultation with the members 6f the committee
offered the amendment above referred to: ’,
The question recurred on Mr. Allen’s amend
ment.
_ AlrrWise-inqmrod'orrwhal authority this ap
propriation was,‘asked for. - v
• Mr. Allen answered, orf the authority of the
Commissioner of the.Public-Buildings. r
Air. Keim said that he was a member of the
Committee on public Buildings and Grounds, and
nothing had passed; the Commissioner
and ; lhat committee on the subject, and that Air.
Allen was not a member of the Committee. '
Air. Allen said that doubtless all that was very
true which had been stated by Air. Keim; lie did
not offer tho 'amendment as a member of any com
mittee; it. had been usual, he believed, for some
friend of art, incoming President to make such mo
tion, and he, as the friend of Gen, Harrison, had
offered th© amendment.
Air. Graves inquired of Mri Keim, of tho Com
mittee bn Public Building and Grounds, why it
was that that committee had not acted in the pre
mises.
Air. Keim answered that if any thing had been
more distinctly decided in the late contest than
any other, it was the extravagance which had been
practised in the President’s House; and.it was*for
this reason that the committee had not recommen
ded any thing for the-President’s household.

As a literary composition, wo confess wo are sad

than some public documents, with which our
Whig critics have made themselves merry. And
this, we apprehend,ls the consequence of the Pres

ample, and make an address that should equal in
length the addresses of his predecessors.* If he

The Piunciple ok Purgation. —The groat prin
ciple of purging* in sickness is rfow one of our lea
ding principles of tho day. It is found much more
convenient to take an occasional dose of these cel
ebrated Brandreih Vegetable Universal Pills and bo
always well, than to'send and"’lie
bled, blistered, and salivated—-with the certainly
that if you are not killed, you will be sure to have
months of miserable weakness, and the only one
who is benefited is your Doctor.
The Brandreth Vegetable Universal Pills require
no skill ii> their administration; the printed direef
tion only, has to be observed, and it describes tho
Just proportion of the dos© to the magnitude of the
deseaso to be cilrcd.
They may be taken at any time the body re
quires medicine, either before or after mcajs, when
out or at homo’ without any inconvenience being
experienced. And a certainty that no malignant
disease cun injure while thoy-arc used. Thus os,
tiblishing tho fact that we are only to use those
remedies which purify the blood, to be free from
all diseases, whether it bo, in head or feet, in the
brain or meanest member, whether it heart out
ward ulcer or an inward abscess, are all, though
arising from many causes, reducible to one grand
fleet, namely* impurity’of blood.
