Bratton, Editor and Proprietor* CARLISLE, THURSDAY, AUG. 10, 1848. For tho Volunlosr. NEXT GOVERNOR* Mr. Editor—By publishing in your valuable paper the following article from the Bedford Gazette, you will oblige many of your Democratic friends in the upper end of old Cumberland. In the language of a correspondent of the Harrisburg Union, "than Judge IJ/.ack there exists few riper scholars, no- bettor road lawyer—no abler judge—no more enlightened States* man—no sounder Democrat—no man belter qualified to make an able, worthy and popular Governor, This nomination by the Democratic Convention, will in. sure not only a victory to the Democratic-party, but a victory to the good old Commonwealth, which"will tall on tho future pages of its history.- Place Judge Slack in tho Executive chair, and the impress of: his gi ml intellect and sound principles, will be cnslamp cd on our institutions, so Jong as tho Keystone con tinues to support the Federal Arch.” ■; OJLD HICKORY. From the Bedford Ossetes. WHO SKlAliX* BE TUB NEXT GOVBRNOnt We congratulate our'Demncrutic friends through- out the Stale on the fact that We have material.enough to make ul least ten thousand Governors, if we.nced cd tint many. A list of nearly ono,hundred names is before tha people already, and there seems to be a fair prospect that others will yet bo added to it. Of all (hose who have been named we cannot remember one whom we would not support with a hearty good will. They aro all good men and true Democrats, as fur us wo know or believe. Wo have tho firmest faith, too, that tho representatives.of tho party, when they assemble in Convention, will do their duty like hon est and wise.mcn, and will select the candidate most worthy of the people’s . ’ . The discussion ought (n be conducted with calm tlqss and moderation. “Every tiling for daaso and nothing for mon”,isonr motto. At the same time, it must be remembered, that tho triumph of the cause will depend on the charade? of the men who,|iave the management of it. The limo between this and tho meeting of tho Convention Is so short that lire public press Is tho only medium, through which an interchange of opinion oan be affected. The press, therefore, is bound to speak out plainly and candidly/ Wo have considered the claims of each candidate who can bo supposed to have a chance, and we have formed the opinion that HOW. JGRGItIXAII S. UtiCH, of Somerset, is the most unexceptionable nnmc among all tbo candid ilea spoken of. If wo have onmniittud tn error In this, we hope our brethren will give us a friendly correction. So fir as we have already had un opp inanity of consulting the Democracy, we have found our views almost universally responded to with u warm and hearty upbrob.ilion.' Among the citizens of Bedlhrd county, 1 as well us.the strangers how among us, wc have not heard a dissenting voice. Judge Cl ick is, in our opinion, decidedly the most ivalliblo candidate wo can take. We do not pretend o say that cither of the other 1 gdnttumcn would hot bo elected. Tho popularity of Cos* and Cutler will, curry even an objectionable man, Ifauch a man should ?ct tho nomination. But wc should have a candidate or Governor who would bring up our majority ns iigh as possible for tho sake of tho effect it would traduce no other Slates os well ns our own. Now, Fudge Cluck belongs to no faction—no clique—nor 10 class or division of tho Democracy. . lie is' a Domocmt-and would unite the whole parly. All who oppose the schemes of Federalism, and all who dos. >isc the present unprincipled course of that party :ould and would support him.; • , Again, ho is a man who standas high in point of talents ns nny other in the commonwealth. We hiivo [iflcn said—and wo believe It—that his superior can* uoi bo found. Ho is .a splendid writer and n power ful speaker. Hn has nn Inlimnlosnd Familiar knowl edge of every subject (hat a Governor ought to un* lerstnnd. The talents of a Chief Magistrate is an Important Item. Tho honest pride with which Judge pluck's abilities would Inspire the Democracy would jdd much to our strength, nod would be nn honor to is and lb the commonwealth after the election as well ■6 hnforo, Wo need not add that he is perfectly Irfoproacbn to and upright in private life. ; Neither is it neccs ary to any that his Democracy is beyond suspicion. Ivory man who knows him whig or Democrat, ill acknowledge that he is devotedly and sincerely llached to the great principles of oqml justice and quil rights, lie is not ashamed of his faith, nor Trald to avow his opinions. In n word, lie Is always Ight side up, and onn maintain any position he takes, f ho is elected; he is (he man than will sustain Do looratio principles, for ho' Is as firm os the hills.-. Vo are certain that there is no man more likely to oin and to k.cep.tlie confidence of tho whole people mn Judge Black would bo Sf elected. For those reason* he is mir ohnlde, and the choice f many thousand other* in the State,. We hope the Sonvontion will consider the nnso well before limy set vide such claims ns those. Wo do not believe 1 that |is nomination is very doubtful. Wo wore- In the Kant when Gov. Sliuuk resigned, and we heard mul* Btudftß of ilia best men of (ho party declare them* elves in favor ofJudge Black. Our correspondence Iso shows llml his worth is justly appreciated inov. ry, part of thc Stale. ; . . , > In order that the Democracy may know what kind f mettle this sterling Democrat is made of, we beg me to call their attention to that part of his eulogy pen the grout Jackson, which speaks of lhu> polili al services of that Patriot and Statesman, and pur. cukrly his opposition to the .late Dank of the Uni >d States! A host of Banksnro applying for Char* !r * and no man living is .better calculated to protect io people against their encroachments ilium.

The coiirrtge; which. |vor cowered before an onomy, was lndeotfiherb; jo Iron will, the fiery soul, the of stool, nnd jo nerve of adamant, wore" with him' still; But joio ulrto wup the comprehensive Intellect, the rapid Iwor of combination, thu intuitive perception of patevor was, noble or gond-rabovo 011, thoro was ill the patriotism, which dedicated lik 11*« bolrig to, tho ociin'lry that hglovpd—loved with 1 hk forver of, devotion. r’ hen the Mkysvillc Road Bill jkssed both houses 'of'Congress by ' immense inb'jorUla's,* developing. a system ai wdr with the Cohstilullon, but in perfect 1 keeping with (he wild spirit.of speculation'and reck. 1 leas expenditure, which afterward? swept do many of the Sialealo financial ruin, ii’wushia sagacity (fiat' saw the distant danger; arid his firmness (hat applied •the remedy. He crushed without hesitation a mea. sure which had the support of all parties; No truck* ling to popular .errors; no wooing of .powerful inte rests; no base appeal to the sordid passions; no hailing of traps to catch the favor qftHb people, ever disgraced liis manly statesmanship. 2. He woe as ready to atom the torrent when it was wrong, as to swim with the tide when it set in-the true direction. Upon this part of his history, lime ond reflection have pul all right, and the. only. thing now left to excite our special wondei is, that other*, who passed fur wise men in their day and generation, should not have seen the subject in aa lruo a light as ho did. < . Nullification reared its head—the Union was to be Severed, because one of tho-States was displeased with a law. Jackson wap u( Im post. 110 never stopped to parley with the danger, or to bahdy.vvotds with the’ wrong doers., Up spoke not it; tho language of expostulation, advice or entreaty, but in tho deci. sive und unequivpcal tone pf one.who knew, tljat i( was fils duly, and his right, to command. ’ “The Union” said ho **muBt and it small bo preserved;** J and from that moment Nullification was doomed. ... \ 9 50 75 : 1 00 - But another foe, more deadly and. dangerous than any ho had yet encountered, was still In bb.grappjcd with. A grout corporation.with a capital oftbirty five millions of dollars; wielding debts to tho amount of seventy millions, against men of all classes, profes sions, and grades; intimately connected with all tho tumificulions of private business ; and holding the public funds of the Government in its custody; de manded his signature to a now charter, . He knew that the corporators had misbehaved themselves grossly—how.grossly I shall not slop to tell—and he made no compromise with wrong. In the Constitu tion he had sworn to preserve, protect, and defend, ho found no warrant fur such a.law; and he kept his bath. But his veto was scarcely read, before tile bank bounded into the arena, armed to tho teeth, and followed by,a host of friends. To cripple hcrpdwcr and save the country from loss, ho removed the pub lic depositee, a measure which cnolo'd many, of, his friends, while it fairly. Infuriated his enemies. The combat deepened every hour. To an bye unable lb penetrate the sources of his influence, it seemed that he was about to be crushed at lust. Tho Bank sud denly withdrew her discounts, curtailed her circula tion, pressed her debtors to the wall; and tho coiiso quenco was, that formal committees, from every part of the Union, walled on the President, by thousands. With bitter complaints of the distress which they had been taught to believe was brought upon tho country by him. Two thirds of the presses, three' fourths of the orators and writers of tho nation were exerting all their powers of invective, argument and ridicule to bring contempt and hatred upon his char acter. Tile Son ale. containing “ the garnered talent of the nation”—the tribunal to which he had a right to look for a culm decision, for they were his judges in the last resort—accused and convicted film with out a-heanng. Physical force begun to bo talked of, anonymous letters warned him that ossusins were watching for ilia life; “armed committees of ten thousand” were pruposcdi'.nn.“encampment upon Capital Hill” waif threatened; end a revolution, bloodltts aa yet," was announced to the publican ihe highest authority. in all this storm of passionate declamation—amid this “loud mar of foaming calumny”—his firm soul never blenched even for an instant. Ho changed no principle,.he retracted Roopinion, ho surrendered n 6 truth, he gave up not one inch of the high ground he had taken. In this the sorest trial his faith hud ever endured, V he haled no jot of heart or hope,” but kept right onward in the path of his duty. The test was 100 severe for his summer friends, and they fell away from his support by scores and hundreds; but ho was •. "Constant ns the norllicr star, or whoso iron, file I, anil reding qualify; \ 'TJisro la no follow in llio llria'aineal."* The electric chain of communication between him and the people was still unbroken, And whaiovorlink of that chain was struck by his muster hand, the re. spouse was a deep thrill of smp.uhy from the hearts of the million. His steady and'fearless voice was hoard throughhis messages, above the din of tho con. Oicl and it . went over (he land like the tones of a trumpet, ringing full on the oar, banishing doubt.

Of all the misjudgmonts of-mun, of all )iis errors, fatal to health and frustrMivo of hit true: Interest, that of huddling laborers together In large cities is the most fatal ana foolish, when all the elements nf living arc cheaper and bolter in the. country; whero housu-ront Is lower, and where health and enjoyment ore more abundant and secure. A navigable river may be found hundreds of miles from the oily, and If nut a river, a railroad.
