R, C. HALL, Cor. Sec’y. Oct. 28, 1841. APPOINTMENT BY THE GOVERNOR. ’ John B. Butler, Esq. of Allegheny county, to bo Canal .’Commissioner in the room of Hugh Keys, Esq. deceased. In announcing this appointment to tho public tho Kcystono says— w Wc cannot forbear expressing the opinion that .it is aTvcty good one. Mr. Butler ha* long been known to the people of Pennsylvania as a gentleman of talents, energy and fore-thought, and an ardent and devoted friend.of the public improvements of the Slate. He is, moreover, one of the profession, a printer and an editor. For many years he conducted a Democratic paper in Pittsburg with great spirit and ability, end has always pursued, a course which gained for him tho esteem and confidence of thc-people; * vre trust he may now bo enabled to discharge tho ardu ous duties imposed upon him to Jtlie satisfaction of the people of tho State. £j*Our neighbor of the Statesman has'nt yet infor med tho public what those “political abuses” wore, which ho’-says the Democrats. whom ho alleges voted for Harrison'and Tyler, intended to “ reforin ” by help ing the WhigatcTbreak. down the administration of Mr. Van Buren. The twenty-six hundred and nine- * ty~Jive hearted Democrats in Cumberland county who voted for that honest and incorruptible salesman, would doubtless be pleased tljc-dc 1T.... fy thcih in^iisncxt.number. ,J.T.

With the proviso, we second the motion;, but at the same time wb thihlc that tho Dcmtfcnicy of .this great Conmionwc<h ought not to come off second best in tho matter. The present constitution pf the United States has been in operation for more than half a cen tury, during.all of which time the Keystone State has never had either a President or Vico President—al though she has been tho “wheel-horse” of Democracy during that entire period, and, with a solitary excep tion, has always cast her potent vote for tho Republi can candidates - Wo ore therefore decidedly of the opinion, tbat tho next President ought to hail from Pennsylvania—and if our brethren of the press through out the Stato would only take tho matter in bond with energy and zeal, at tho proper time,' wo have little doubt but that tho Democracy of our sister States would pay duo attention to their pressing appeals. As an offset to tho Banner, tho “Berwick Sentinel" (Columbia c 0.,) is out for the Hon. James Bdcoanan as tho Democratic candidate for tho Presidency, and urges his claims in the following article: THE NEXT PRESIDENCY Now that the Gubernatorial Election is over, and Pennsylvania has so gloriously and indignantly thrown off the humiliating shackles of federalism with which shb has, for the lost twelve months, been encumbered, .and stands forth “redeemed, regenerated 'and disen thralled,” it may be wdl for the Great Victorious De mocratic Party to direct attention to tho subject of tho next Presidency. Of what political princi ples our next Chief Magistrate will be, is not the question at issue—that has been proclaimed through tbc ballot-box, in thunder-tones, from the centra to the circumference of the Union, —it simply is, mho shall be our candidate S This subject is of vital* impoitancc to every Ameri can "citizen, and should elicit the most calm, cool and deliberate rcflectioriT Lct’the voice of tho people bo duly consulted, and we doubt not tho matter will be honorably and satisfactorily arranged. ’ rr Pennsylvania, old PENNSYLVA NIA,” now presents her claims, in the person of one of her most meritorious sons, and until otherwise dc-, termined, wo unfurl bis name to the world.

Wc give below a table from th’e Newark Dqily Ad vertiser,.showing the representative. numbers'of each State by the ratio of 60,000, and by that of 57,000. : — The-former number hos frequently alluded 1 to in the newspapers as. the probable basis of the new apportionment; but it will appear that there arc serious objections to it on the ground that it will leavp many largo fractions unrepresented in a number of tho States* Thus at 60,000 for a representative, eleven Suites will • be left with fractions over 40,000 each; and th|si6£tfhcrs with fractions, of from 30,000' to 40,000. By the ra he standard the following States will lose represen tatives, viz: New Hampshire, Connecticut/ Rhode Island, Vermont, Maryland and Tennessee, each one; South Carolina and Kentucky, each two; North Caro lina, three; and Virginia, four. By the ratio 6f 57,000, Now York and Pennsylva nia will each gain two members, and Vermont and’ TenncßscrTwiil preserve their present number; while Kentucky, South Carolina, North Carolina and Vir ginia, will lose one member less than if the ratio were at 60,000. By this ratio only five states will have fractions over 40,000. The aggregate of unrepresented fractions for the whole Union at tho ratio of 60,000 would be 847,096; at 57,000 it would bo 688,696,, The Advertiser con^ - eludes that the latter ratio will be most likely to have tho preference; and remarks that as the members of the present Congress will have to fix the standard of the new representation, tho vote of each member, will probably be influenced by two considerations, viz:— whether a given ratio will diminish the just weight of his own State, and whether it will diminish his own chahcc oF re-election. The latter comfideratian wilj operate against fixing a high ratio which would mate rially lessen tho number of representatives from any of the States* * ' • It will be seen -that under either ratio Maryland must lose one representative-—unless indeed, it shall be found that tho remissness in taking .the census in Montgomery county has extended to other parts of the State.- We hope that a close investigation will Lo had relative to tbis; and that just and[ fair returnyvilh b? made to Secure to the State the dub representation to which she, may bo really entitled. The West will gain largely, jet theralio be fixed as it may, Ohio at the rate of 60,000 will gain six mem bers, at 57,000 she will gain seven. Indiana and Ill inois will each gain four or five—Virginia will suffer tho greatest diminution. ■ She will fall below Ohio and become the fourth State in the Tho new, in fusion from the West will be of a vigorous kind—prac tical in spirit and prompt in action.

On Thursday Governor Pennington took his scat in Council as the presiding officer, and it was expected that the resolution of the House to go into joint-meeting would be passed' Mr. Scotty elected os >«oWhig Councillor from Somerset county,jjbjectcd lb the right of the Governor to preside over the Council, and declared that ho should .vote upon no motion other than one to adjourn. A motion to adjourn until Fri day was made, put, and carried, 10 to 8, Mr. Scott, voting in the affirmative. The Governor, in his reply to Mr. Scott, referred to the minutes of the pre yious meeting, which showed that he waa clectcd and ,sworn into office on the 30th day of October, 1840, and claimed a right therefore to exercise Uis officc un til the 30th of October should arrive. M’ c learn from the Newark Advertiser of Saturday evening, that the Legislature adjourned on Friday till Monday*- without having appointed a Governor.— Governor Pennington's term expired on Saturday, and the general functions of the office therefore devolve on the Vico President, who is of the democratic party. The Court of v Errors, composed of the Governor and Council, is required to meet on Tuesday, and much important business awaits its action. The Vice Presi dent, it is sold, cannot preside in that Court, and con sequently the term must bo lost, unless a Governor is appointed on Monday or Tuesday.—Ledger. Tue Tbial of Colt was to como on to-day (Mon day,) in New York, though it was expected that' an effort would bo mode by his council to postpone it on tho ground of the absence of a material witness. The; New York papers have published a statement said to be 'given by Colt himself of the circumstances which led to and resulted in the death of-Mr. Adams. • Ffom this it would appear that Mr. Adams had called upon Colt to dun him for an unsettled bill, when a-disputo arose about on item of $B, in which Mr. Adams called Colt a liar, .The latter, exasperated, struck the former, a scuffle ensued, and Adams being the stronger man, threw Colt, and was In danger of choking him, when the letter stretched out his hand, seized some object,*, and dealt a blow upon Adams* head. Adams still re timed his grasp, when a second and third blow, was givenr which produced" the fatal result. There are doubts expressed as.totho authenticity of tho statement* If it is Colt’s, it fully does away with tho plea of in sanity urged in his fehalf.—[Ledger. CONFI3SSIONo~Wo' con scarcely ever, says tho Globe, get a word of truth from 1 a Federal paper, but, now and then', the Boston Courier indulges itself in a little veracity. The admission made in the paragraph below, as to tho Whig modo of manufacturing a Presi dent by “/Ac doctrine of avaiiibility,—by [‘expediency” or expedients, at the expense of principle and truth, confirm* what has been said a thousand times.by tho Democratic, and as often denied, by tho Federal press. The honest Couricr.frankly avows tho fact that VVUig gcry was pro and con on great questions of principle in different States oa it suited best, and was on both sides in some. ' Mr* Tyler nod the fl’lilgß—Wo are glad to see that the minority of the Whig party, who assumed the responsibility of speaking for the whole party are be ginning to return to their senses, and to speak of tho President iri terms of moderation. v It has always seemed to be- the fate of the Whigs that prosperity was tho one thing which they could not bear. . Always vigorous in opposition, reaching forward with 'unfaltering steps to the completion of their plans, whcn their end has been attained, they have fallen at once into a lethargy which showed their, previous efforts hod been forced, spasmo dic and unhealthy. ‘ < Tire last, few months have made manifest one truth for which we most heartily rejoice, “Out of tho nettle danger wo pluck the flower safely.” Tho startling sc jrics of events commencing with the death of Harrison, and ending in the resignation of the Clay portion of the Cabinet, if they have brought no great,satisfaction to the majority of the Whiga, have, at least, admonish ed them to t/iroip aride iheir favOriif'doetrine of avail ability, It is eftough to have fleeted Harrison by ex* pedipicy t and-to have fought their great battle against Loco Focoism, in different States, on different grounds, —pro-bank in the .West ahd’’6outh- West, Shti-Bonk, in the Middle and .South, .and pro or anti-Bonk in the North, according to tho party to be won/ That we have been beaten in tho Stale elections since—that we shall be j bejtcu more, may riot be denied* Kentucky, Ncw Jeraeyiand oM Massachusetts, seem likely to form •the Whiff trinity;for 1542.

'—[New- Em* ‘BEAUTIES’ OF THE PRESENT FEDERAL APPORTIONMENT BILL. Although the Democracy of Pennsylvania, by dint of their recent overwhelming political triumph,. have se cured to themselves a decided majority in the legisla ture on joint ballot, it ia~ nevertheless clear as the sun at noon-day that they are cheated and defrauded out of a large number of representatives by the present iniqui tous and unconstitutional apportionment bill. A sin gle glance at the returns must satisfy the most incre dulous, that under this biII.THOUoANDS of voters in Democratic' counties arc virtually DISFRAN CHISED—robbed' of their inestimable privilege* of representation in tho law-giving deportment of the go vernment —and that their rights have been to all intents and purposes TRANSFERRED to those who Hove tho good luck to reside in Federal districts*, We will adduce a few of the strongest illustrations of this fact that wo ore at present able to command, and doubt not that there arc many others equally clear and con clusive. ' ..... . _. At the recent election, the Federal City of Phila delphia polled in all 10,300 voters. The Democratic county OLD BERKS polled an aggregate vote of 10,450 —rbojh official—being 150 votes more than, the city. And • yet the Federal city under the present abominable bill, elects SEVEN members to tho House of Representatives, and TWO Senators—whilst Old Berks has but Four representatives in the House,, and but. orrfc Senator.'' It Is therefore manifest that it re quires just TWO of the “hardfisted”- Democrats of Old Berks, to equal ONE of tho Federal Nabobs of. Philadelphia Is not this absolutely trampling under foot tho deadest privileges of out Citizens ! ! Another example—-Philadelphia county, democratic, pol|cd at the recent election .18*477 votes, being near fcJUOJWEJi orim ent would/ .1 :’^f»^i&<r^>o</<rty--'«-jt.i-r- j ij«Tiii?cxTruiTac'xiDusc, ontT'Ule city but FIVE . .. Bradford county at\tiie la4b polled an ag gregate official'vote . Attains county (the home of Mr. Stevens) polled but 3,-540—being up wards of THIRTEEN HUNDRED votes less than Bradford I And yet Adams county elects TWO. members of the Legisjaturo whils Bradford elects but' ONE !! The reason of tills is-Bradford is democrat ic, And Adams is-stceped to the vcry'cyclida, in .eralisml. , v .. Columbia county has polled 132 votds:MOßß than Adams, and has butiONE representative—the lesser number again electing tho greatest represention in the house. - Gallant old Wkstxorelanii— the .“Star of the West”—polled a sum total of 6,135 votes, according to the official returns—being within a fraction of DOUBLE tho vote'polled by Federal Adams—and yet she has but the same representation enjoyed by the ]attcr—and no more. [Keystone. The following is taken from the Baltimore Ameri can, speaking of the completion of the dam across the Susquehannah river, which is to form the connecting link between the Conpstoga and Tide-Water Canids. The editor eayet This consummation, it will b.c observed, is regarded with great interest by the people of Lancaster, and well it may,, for it throws open on easy, cheap and safe bout navigation between the seaboard and tho heart of the richest and most populous county in the great Susquehanna Valley. Lancaster will have occasion to date a new cm in her prosperity, shut up os she has heretofore been to a single market on the Delaware.-- By means of the now canal route, the whole range of the seaboard is thrown open to her choice for tho sale of. the products and tho purchase of' her supplies.— That our own. city- is destined to become intimately and advantageously united with Lancaster city ontf county, is rendered certain by tho cheapness and dor spatch with which the interchangcs of trade can now bo effected. As an earnest of this wo arc enabled to state the fact, that yesterday purchased of groceries for tho Lancaster market; to bo sent home by the new route, were 'making'ih this city.. A 'Balloon Adventure, —A balloon ascension was made at St. Louis on the‘9th ult* On gaining to the height of nearly two miles, os Mr. S.

The valve must be opened, or the time and place of descent left to the baloon. • In this emergen cy ho ascended by the cords to tho hoop overhead rest ing upon it, disentangled the valve cord' and made-ii. safe landing about 8 miles from Sk Louis. A young lady was a passenger on tho occasion* • A SijroutAii’DßAtii.—Mr. of Fra mingham, Mass, a very worthy man, died on Saturday week, in consequence, os his physicians of poison communicated to his blood by ara- with which ho • shaved himself soon.after ho hod shaved the face of his 'dcccascd father, Tho father was a patriot of, the revolution, a peti sibndr, and advanced beyond the ago of eighty, -and in shaving the face of the corpse tho razor drawn little blood. ’ Tho soli, without wiping tho razor made use of it to shave his own face, on*which he also drew blood, and he made use of tho same lather and brush wliich ho had used on tho corpse* Soon after his face became much swollen, arid ho gradually grow worse for about ten days, being much of. that time in great torture, till he died. It Is certainly possible, and it seems probable, that ’a particle of the prutrid matter from the face of tho -corpse was communicated to the blood of tho living, and it operated with as the virus by which the small pox is propagated.' ‘. Important Decision. —The'Supreme Court of Jef ferson county, (Va.) Judge Douglass presiding, is still in session. On Tuesday the long-ponding case of John Stridcr, against Bofllebower& Cb, was decided, in which the plaintiff claimed several thousand dollars damages for 1 the destruction by fire; of his Flour Mill on tho Shenandoah'River, in 1837,‘ while in tho oc cupancy of the defendants os tenants, -The jury gave a verdict for. tho plain till. -, An important principle has been established by this decision, homely, that the oc cupants of mills, are bound to protect tire mill from Tire, by .friction of the machinery, but if they cannot prove .conclusively the excrcisc of such vigilance and care, they will he held responsible for tho property de etroyed. The-'ease was ably argued by Messrs. Worthington and Jennoy Tar the plaintiff and Messrs. Daugherty and Hunter for tbedefendanta.
