We have hud upon our table for aumo days past a letter from that eloquent and high-toned Democrat, Jeremiah S. 1 Black, (who -was so warmly pressed by his friends for the nomination,) and who makes this noble avowal of ids sonliniontst “There is no man in the Commonwealth who cun bo more anxious than I am, far the triumph of the Democratic party at the next October election } and this, not only because 1 think tho Democratic candi date for Governor is a wiser and a bettor man than his Federal opponent, but, because I fool that the fu ture destinies of this country, and perhaps of the world, are hound up in the success of the great principles of justice and equality involved in the present contest, i cannot look without some degree ordrotid upon tho prospect even of a short reign of Fcdciuliauj; for though jt would necessarily bo brief, it might do, (and judging from the past, it would do) more injury in three yours than tho Democracy could correct'in twenty. It is ridiculous to suppose that with those opinions, I am capable of fooling ooldly' towards my party, merely because a majority oftbom saw proper to prefer another man as tlio candidate for Governor.” .

Week before last an enthusiastic meeting of tiio Democralsof Washington City,, was addressed with groal.cfTcqt by Messrs. Henley and Bowden. They then marched to the residence of Mr. Buchanan, who addressed the assembled multitude as follows: My Friends and Fellow-Citizens:—l tlmnk you from the bottom of ray heart for the honor which you have jiaid me. Ours is a glorious cause. It has in. spired you to a noble, a generous enthusiasm. Wo do not, like our opponents, disguise our principles; but we boldly spread them upon every banner, so that “ho who runs may rend.” Our cause is one of principle. Tho cause of Democracy seeks to bring the greatest amount of good to the greatest number, atid to preserve and perpetuate those blessings to our posterity. Tho great republican parly seeks to pro* Serve inviolate the charter of oar rights—the Consti tution. (Cheers.) I see upon your beautiful trans patency the motto of the indomnitablound immortal Jackson—“ Tho Fcdcrol, Union : it must and shall be preserved”—(tremendous cheering)—and upon the reverse side,'the ho-less'eloquent sentiment, of Lewis Cass, our candidate for tho Presidency—“ No interference (w.federal legislation with the rights v or institutions of the sovereign Slates, and a strict ob servance of all tho guhintccs of tho constitution.’’— (Groat cheering.)

Whig Design*—Caution to the People,' ,Wu hclievo that there is mu Intelligent Whig who entertains any reasonable hope ortho election of Mr. Johnston us Governor. Wo have hoard it intimated, however, that there is a design existing among sonro of tho luadors.or tho Whig parly, in case they can secure a majority of tho members of tiro House of Representatives, to carry their odious measures of hanks, corporations, &e., &c., through the legislature bu/oro the Governor elect shrill bo inaugurated. • Tho legislature meets on tho first Tuesday of Jan; uary, and (ho Governor is inaugurated on the third Tuesday. Thus it will bo perceived, there will be two weeks for legislation before the Governor of the people takes his seal. During-this period, It is inti, mated, the designing, Interested, bold, and bad men, such as those who were in favor of sotting the will of the people at defiance, and treating, the election as if it had not been hold, in 1838, intend to consum mate thoir speculative schemes of legislation. In such nit outrage wo do not suppose tho masses of the Whig party are involved,.because wo cannot think they would knowingly sanction such a fraud on the rights of the people. Wo are sure that many of them would not. There Is rcasoh (o apprehend, however, that- extraordinary exertions will bo made to carry the Whig members in the county of Phila delphia, as well ns in all tho close counties in tho Stale, pith a view to the consummation of the scheme alluded to. • 1 interested in llio legislation.desired will nb' doubt contribute liberally to effect this object. Wo therefore admonish our democratic friends- every* where, to be on the look out, especially for wolves in sheep s clothing.

Acquiescence in the will of the majority, constitu tionally expressed, Is tho duly of evofy good citizen, as tho very existence of our Institutions depends upon it. .Dul if u band of speculators, and political despo. radoch,should attempt to take advantage ofucoidontal circumstances to thwart anil defeat the well-known will, of the people, and to carry out their unhallowed schemes by tho power of money, as they did in tho case oftho rc-charlor of tho Bunk oflho United Stales by this Stale, and again at the time of the Pucksliot War, In 1838, submission to such wrongs on the people's rights would cease to bo a virtue, and ought not tp bo expected.

TUB PORTRAIT QP GOV. JOHNSTON* The Kittaming published in the town whore Johnston resides, “ when ho is at homo,” speaks of him .as follows: Who then is William F. Johnston, the Whig nom ince for Governor? Ho was originally a Democrat, oral least profosscd'tb bo one* whether ho was over sincerely deVotod to the principles of that parly is a. matter of great doubt; lie was elected by the Demo cratic party of this county to a spat in the Lcgisla luro in 1836, and was rc-eleclcd in 1837.’.H0 was dcctod as a Democrat, and was regarded by the muss !, of parly of tho county, as a supporter of all the great questions which were then advocated by the Democracy of the Union. While ho held a seat in tho Legislature; wo think in, 1837, he gave conclusive evidence of what is regarded by all who. know him as the weak point, in his character as a public man. He is and always has boon most lamentably defective in political firmness and consistency. Through some lnfluence, ho was induced to. commit political suicide by tho introduction of resolutions into the Legislature, instructing Jas. Buclfanan and Senator M’Kcan to vote against tho passage of tiio Sub-Treasury bill, which was then before the Senate of the United States.' It is generally believed, and was,so regarded at tho time, that ho himself would bd ' His'.vaulting ambition, however, overleaped ‘ itself . James fiqchanan, in ‘accordance with Ilia well-known and frequently expressed opin ions in refuronedito tho duty oftlio Representative to obey tho instructions of his constituents, obeyed the instructions of the Legislature, and Mr. Johnston was perniiitcd to serve out his legislative term.— Ills defection from his party then became , manifest, and ho was forthwith repudiated.by tho Democracy of Armstrong county. In 1838,hp ran as a volunteer candjdalo for tho Legislature, and was defeated by the regular nominee, tho late Judge Evans. In .1840, he took tiio stump for Harrison and Tyler. In 1844, ho professed to bo a warm friend of Henry 11. Mnli. lonbcrg, after whoso death ho avowed himself in favor of tho election of General Maiklc. During tho early part of the sumo year ho was decidedly in favor of .tho nomination of Richard M,-Johnston for tho Presidency,, Finding that iiis chances were hopeless, he took strong ground in favor of Comodoro Stewart, and when James K. Folk was nominated at Balti more, ho wheeled into tho Whig-lino and supported Henry Clay. ■ In 1817, ho was elected to the Somite from his district, of which body, near the close of his session, ho became tho speaker, and Is now, by virtue of his Speakership, accidentally discharging tho duties of Governor. Wo regard William F, Johnston as the most un* stable inconsistent public man in Pennsylvania, that is Ins besetting sin os polilician, and if. ho should bo elected Governor of Pennsylvania—of which there is not much probability—the Wings will find that what wo have'said is true. Me has never entertained any one sealed opinion for any groat length of time, in reference to tho groat questions of public policy that divide tho two parties of lliu country, ond is emphati cally blown übout by every political breezo. * From the, Pennsylvanian. WM* P. JOHNSTON AND THE HANKS* Ilis Accidents/, Governor Johnston, has just passed through a region of country which has been sadly punished for its confidence in tho good faith of dis. honest banks. Ho, began his electioneering journey in this city, where thousands have been made poor by these corporations. • lie passed on to Reading, tho scene of tho Berkp County Bank imposture—an in* sliluliun which enjoyed the flicililicK extended to fraud by. his Relicfbiil*. From Rcadldg ho wont to Allentown, where the Lehigh County Bank existed, in the explosion of which, so many upright and hard, working men wore plundered and prostrated. From Lehigh ho passed to Easton, the scene of still anoth er Bunk failure, almost without a parallel In tho on. tiro history of fraud. . Those, .institutions, in tho circle of their operations, did not dispense their blcs. sings over a limited surfaced ' Tho poison of their example and thoif policy reached to other counties traversed by his Accidoncy, and wo have no doubt more than ono of his hearers in Bucks ami Moplgo. mbry, and in tho counties beyond Northampton, can testify to tho foot that it is not always proper to placo your- trust in Banks. Wb presume Gov* Johnston will extend his tour, to .Bradford county—if only to convince tho freo soilors there of tho propriety of vo. ling for a man who oun.advocato iho.Wilmot Proviso and General Taylor at tho same time. Bradford j was also tho theatre of ti rotten Dank explosion.— I Going to Mifflin county, whore tho Lcwislown Bank gavo up tho ghost, ho may say with truth that ho has travelled over a portion of tho Stale which has boon highly honored by the system of corporate pow. ora of which ho has always been tho friend and champion. . As peculiarly appropriate to the present campaign, we this morning publish tho groat veto of tho lamon. tod Shu.nk, of tho Till of April last, upon seforalßank bills presented to him for his signature. Tho cogen* cy of its reasons—the moderation of its rcquoalß—nlio justice of the reforms which U suggests—arc such as the judgment oflho people of tho whole Union would approve, oven If they hud not, a sad expo* ricneo which nriikos these views such as defy equally denial and assault. No feature of (ho administration of Francis R. Shank was more acceptable to (he people of all parlies, than his unswerving hostility to tho system of irresponsible corporations, and blare- I solute support of all just reforms in (ho existing I bunking system. When ho came forward for re- i election last October, many intelligent and honest 1 Whigs abandoned parly lines to vote for him. What I wore then recent examples of Dank dishonesty on- I doured him still more to tho popular heart, and gave < to his sentiments, long before expressed, an air of profound and practical wisdom, if not of prophecy itself. If Judge Longstfcth, (ho Democratic candidate for Governor, has avowed himself to bo the bold and resolute friend of tho Shank policy, so has William F. Johnston, tho Federal candidate, by his public conduct! declared himself to bo Its opponent—its bit ter, and malignant fool Wo now have before ns tho Journal of. the last Slate Senate,of which Governor Johnston was u member. .As this journuioftho 8(h of April last, page 743, will show, Win. F. Johnston not only voted against tho admirable doctrines Of tho veto which wo print to day, by voting that the bills to which it objected, should pass by (ho constitutional majority of two-thirds, but ho also remained in Ids seat to vole for two or throe other institutions—at least ono of which was. suspected of some not very honest practices! Tho reader will find Ids name recorded no loss than six times against the doctrines of the admirable message width wo print lids mor ning. See Senate journal, pages 743, 744, 745, and 746. Side by side with Johnston, in lids work, was Middloswarlh, tho present Federal candidate for Ca nal Commissioner, whoso course in this respect loses so much in comparison with the hold, radical, straight-forward deportment of Israel painter, (llio Democratic candidate for tho entno ofllcb) while ho was In the Legislature, The doctrines of Governor Shrink jmd no inoro active or mure resolute friend than Col.

THE ORIGINAL STORY OS' ROMEO AND JULIET. It la perhaps not generally known IhatShakspoare obtained the material for his tragedy of Romeo and Juliet from tho work of Girolumadulla Corte, a gen-, llomim of Verona, who wrote a history of his native city, in the year 1594, in which appears tho follow* ing account of.tho Ibvora and trogic death of Romeo and Juliet: i “In the year 1303, Signor Burtolemo waa mayor of tlio city, under whom occurred in Verona the cat | oslropho of two unfortunate lovers, which had its or igin In tho long and bloody enmities that existed bo twcon two opulent and noble families, the Montocchil and CapollottV many of whom worc'sluin on both sides; and’notwithstanding that Signor Alberto hud given himself much trouble to bring nbout a recon ciliation, ho never could, effect .it so inveterate was I their mutual animosity. Signor Oartolomb neverthe less had so quelled It, as to put an end to the duals and quarrels which took place in tho street ; (ho young men gave way, arid saluted (ho old of either party, whom they might chance to moot, who nfco re turned (ho salutations, it being tho carnival, and (he bolls and marquoradcs having begun, M. Antonio Cnpollclti, being at the head of hi" faction, gave a ' splendid entertainment, tit which wore present many ladies and gentlemen; among them wps Uomco Mon tecchio,tho handsomest and best mannered gentleman then In Verona; ho was between twenty and twenty ono years uf «go, and came there with some other young men in masks.. After remaining some time with the {nask on his face, ho look it oft’, and seated himself in a corner, whence ho saw the entertainment and could bo easily scon himself by all present. -All the company wondered" why he should thus set him self apart from tho amusements; since, however, ho was a well bred young gentleman, bis enemies did not pul him in mind how ho ought to behave; which thoy probably would have done hud ho been older. Stationed as lie was there, tlio most beautiful young, woman beyond oumparo present caught Ins eyed; and' ho.having caught hcr's at tho same time, (hoy. both i (bit a mutual and. violent attachment. Durlngtho l festival, (hoy did nothing but oyo oqcli other tenderly;! tho banquet finished, ana (ho ball having begun, Ra-1 .moo was asked to dunco by a young woman, who presently loft Mm, after dancing with him for a short tiino. Uo then asked Juliet to dunce, (for so was cal* lod tho young Judy of whom ho was enamored ;) she wusengngod to another pailntr, hut ns soon as she felt the hand of her lover, she said, ‘blessed be your arrival I* And ho, pressing her hand, replied ‘what blessing is Ibis'which you bestow fhlr lady 7’ She answered, smiling, ‘wonder nut, gentleman, that I bless your arrival, lor 1 have been almost frozen by M. Murcurio, and you nro come to warm mo with your courteous manners. 1 (The youth, whom she had been dancing with, waa so called and much be loved by all; but ho had hands almost as cold us Ice.) Romeo replied, ‘such as 1 am fair lady, I am devoted to youand with these words the dance ended. Ju liet could only sigh to him in return, and reply * you arc my better half!’ Romeo,us be left the assembly,! found from one. of his friends, that this young lady I was tlio daughter of M. Antonio Gapollolin; whilst sho disooved lYom her nurse (hat ho was Romeo Mon loochio; which, when she hoard, sho was very sad, dospnring to win him, on account of Ilia jealousies which subsisted between the two families.,. A few days afterwards it happened that Romeo, going along a certain street, whore ho often walked lor the sake of'scolng Juliet, whose windows corresponded with those ofhor lover, that alio recognised him by a sneeze, or somo other signal whioh ho made, and as it , waa moonlight, she .was as cully soon by him. Thoy Interchanged vows of mutual affection; and finally delormlnod to marry, happen what might.
