Johnston, when he comes before the people agaiitt will have to.preach different doe trine to that promulgated by biro when he last addressed ilia ‘‘ fellow citizens,** Irom the. stump.

But what has been his course? -It is a notorious fact that John ston has exercised the veto power more frequently (ban was everyone by any of his predecessors in (be same length of tiipe. We defy his friends .to contradict this. 1 On the subject of (he power tdo, Gov. Johnston occupies a very unenviable position before the people. In the fall of .1647% when he was travelling from village’to village haranguelng his “fellow citizens, 11 and begging (heir votes, he was particular toUll them that he was opposed to the exercise of* the pardoning power by the Governor. He denounced his immediate prede cessor for having exercised this power, and took the ground that no man' convicted of crime by a court v of Justice, and sentenced to punishment, should receive a pardon from the Governor. Those were, Got. Johnston's views (Atn. (low will hU profusions and his ads compare I Any one who will take the trouble to examine (he subject will find that Gov. Johnston has granted more pardons, for the time he. has been in office, than ever were granted before by any Governor in this or any other State. And lie has. pardoned too, many ol i[fc most notorious scoundrels that ever disgraced humanity—murderers, robbers, &o. &c. To such an extent has he exercised the pardoning power, iand so numerous are the.villains he has left- loose upon society, that a president Judge of one of the criminal courts of Philadelphia, in charging the jury in a certain case, remarked that it was al* most a useless expense to try and convll crimi nals, so long as the present Governor remained in office, as he granted pardons nearly as fast as the r court convicted. Such has been the course of Gov. Johnston, and if he can again face the people, and solicit their votes, it will only be additional evidence of his recklessness of character and demagogueism. We hope ho may be nominated, for he will then be taught a lesson wbio i he may profit by—he will then discover that tho people may, by false* hood, sophistry and fraud, bo deceived once, but nota second time. We say then to our Whig friends, renominate Gov. Johnston, if you dare. With Bioleu as bis competitor thn Democrats of tho old Keystone will again triumph, as in days of yore. Mark tho prediction!

' Ai the Bill, says the aUlhorifctbg a syslemof free banking* now‘. before’ the legis lature, is Eliciting a great amount of learned tdifr' oussion, we think it may serve B gopd purpose to republish the views of the lamented Governor ShVnk on that important question. ' While he was living bis counsels upon the Subject of-mbn led institutions and the financial affairs of the State, commanded the profound attention of the people and received their sanction and support. They were, without dpubtj the' primary and prici ple'causes of the present prosperous condition of the State finances; and now that he is no longer with us, they may be reverted to and studied with salutary effect. This is especially tree'of his opinions bn the subject of free banking, of'whioh In bis .memorable message-veloing the bill re chartering the Farmers 1 and Mechanics 1 Bank of Philadelphia, he Uses the* language quoted below. We. commend the extract to the attention of our friends at Harrisburg and our roaders : generally # “ A theory has been advocated land put into practice, in some of. the States, called free bank • i'ng.

The Wobbling Bridge Case.— I The Pittsburg JPost confirms the. report that Chaoccilor Wal worth has made his report to the Supreme Court against the Wheeling Bridge, declaring it an ob struction to navigation as it now stands, and ri> commending that it bo-raised twenty-eight feet.

Biennial'Sessions.— The Maryland Conven tion has fixed the term.of members of the House of Delegates at two years, and Senators at four, and adopted a proposition to leave it to the vote of the people; when the new Constitulio'n is sub mitted for their rejection, to decide whether the sessions of the Xeglslatpre shall be held annually or biennially.
