Scott is the only Whig spoken of in connection with the Presidency, and they. enough to believe t,liat his military frnft will be suf. ficicnl to induce of Pennsylvania to favor IbespreleDsions of William F. Johnston, merely be cause iho Governor is ftverablo to Gon. Scott for the Presidency. Governor Johnston has, therefore, cdn. eluded tc| hitch his sled to Gen. ScolPs locomotive, and hopes, by this trick, to again slide himself into the office of Governor. Gov. Johnston has the name of belug a shrewd, politician, who. understands how lowork.the wires; but, in our opinion, he has missed a figure this time. He is, In the first place, much mistaken if he imagines that he can cover op his own misdeeds and broken pledges by taking refuge beneath the military cloak of Gon. Scott. And in the secon^ I place, he is egregiously mistaken in supposing that Gen. Scott is so popular with the peoplej aa to be able to bid defiance to all the other Whig aspirants for the Presidency. Gov. Johnston and his particular friends, in pledging themselves to the fortunes of Gon; Scott, have courted the opposition of the friends of President Fillmore, Henry Clayj abd Daniel Web. ster. These gentlemen have their friends in every douhly.ofour Slate, who will feel justified in opposing the adroit schemes of Governor Johnston. President particularly, has many adherents, who will notbe.forood to.yreld their .own preference, merely to gTaitfy T 'Wtlliatn : F. Johnston. OUR REPRESENTATIVES. Never has'our'county been belter represented In the State Legislature, than during the- late session. During our stay at Harrisburg for a few days last 'week, we were gratified to find tliat “old Mother Cumberland,'* through her worthy and able repre sentatives, Messrs; Bonham and' SeoUllor, of the House, and Daily of the Senate, exercised her Just, share of influence in matters of legislation. It was well that (ho Democratic party had sbmo true and tried representatives in the Legislature,Tor the peo. pie may rest assured that there was deep deception at work on (ho subject of Free Banking, and other kindred measures. We were delighted to learn that our talented representative, Mr. Bonham, when tho bill for the re-charter of tho old Easton Bank jvas before the House, some limo since, took occasion to express tho sentiments of tho Democratic, party of this State respecting the. impropriety of on increase of the banking capital of tho Commonwealthi in an able end truly eloquent speech, which excited the profound attention of thb House. Mr. Bonham also made a speech when the - Appropriation bill was un* der consideration, on tho subject of our publto im provements, which Was the ablest he delivered during (ho session, not cyen excepting his great speech' on the subject of the tariff. We heard it spoken of in (he highest terms by different persons in Harrisburg. Strange as U may appear, however, tho names of the radical Democratic members of the House and Senate were scarcely, ever mentioned by the letter writers for the citj papers.: . Why wos (his? We did not oursoli know that Mr. Bonham had made a speech at all, either on the subject of (he banks or tho public improvements, until we were told so by those who beard him.speak. Yet these hired letter Writers were constantly engaged in puffing up doubt ful Democrats, while they did not even deign to notice at' all those who were entitled to praise, and who never swerved in a faithful discharge of their duties to the people. This system of puffing, by corrupt letter writers, is one of the nuisances of legislation! at Harrisburg, as the people seldom If-ever see the troth through the papers for which these fellows cor respond. Daring llio late melon, the Home was cursed by having in its employ a bitter Whig reporter for the “Daily American,” a'filthy little Federal sheet, which was supported, for tho Session, out of the mo* ney of tbo public treasury. Tbo reporter for this contemptible sheet used his best efforts to place (ho members In a false position, by giving a garbled publication of the yeas and nays, and.other misrepresentations of the proceedings at they occur rod. Tho tegUialuro should have a sound Demo cratic, reporter in each House—-one who could not be bribed of tampered Iwilh—and tjjen the people would know the troth, ond those Democratic mem. bore who are constantly betraying their constituents would not bo held up as the “great men of the State,” but would bp exposed and denounced, as they de* servo to bo, • Taxing.the York and Cumberland Railroad' “ Thai U shall be the duty of the York end Cum* berlond Railroad Company 10 collect and pay into, tho State Treasury, for the use oftheCommonwealth, under tho provisions of tho eighth section of tho aol| incorporating said company to which this is supple* | mentary, a lax of three mills per ton per mile, on all (onsge passing over the entire extent of said railroad.

It must bo confessed, however, that-Fillmore occupies an awkward position in the buslne^sV 5 Sonae years' ogo ho wrote letters to abolitionists','and, to secure ibelr votes, pledged himself to the. most ullra of4heir measures. Whilst in .Congress, he was failhfiil to his abolition promises.. He was always found voting with the anti-slavery faction.

And this is not (ho worst., When Taylor was first put forward as a candidate, the Whig jour* nols North, many of them, hesitated support the slaveholder.' The editor of the Kenneboo Journal, Maine, only consented to the ticket, because the name of the well tried anti slavery man, Fillmore* Was on it. The same editor is not allowed to. publish tho laws of the United States by this satne -FUlnJore. Is not that a bitter 'pill ?

This shows (hat it's not tho object of the sod dents nt Washington to enlist the modorate'and pat* riolio of oil parlies to sustain the compromise—far from it.

Iflhe sepporlors ofltw com. promise wcro selected for office, without regard to parly, we should then give Fillmore credit for trying to 'employ his power and influence in support of principle; but this ho is net doing. Ho is rewarding his parly friends, and punishing alike his pplillcll opponents and personal enemies in his ownrpurly- The policy of this course Is very questionable; The free sellers got only what they deserve; but'.it ■Will appear to them only personal revenge from one as guilty as themselves; and one, 100, whoso imbecility’ ! will only provoke retaliation.

The Vouintxees. —The Auditor Genera] of the Slate has issued a circular, requiring the'officers commanding companies which served In the late war with Mexico to forward copies of their rolls, to ena. bio him to carry into efleet the provisions of the late Act of Assembly, granting the sum of #30,000 for the travelling expenses and clothing of the volunteers, on being mustered into the service of the D, Stales. The amount payable to each individual has hot yet been ascertained, but it will not bo large, as. there were nearly two thousand men in service in the two regiments, and the sum-is limited to the snip above slated. An officer of the second regiment, who la now a member of the Legislature, states In a letter to an officer in Philadelphia, that the Interposition of an agent will not bo necessary to enable claimants to obtain the amounts due them.

Johnston, the Daily American and Telegraph, gave, out intimations In . the most authoritative manner, that the'Goyo’rnor would veto (he appropriation bill in consequence of thitf loan. When the bill, however, went over to.tho. Senate, the friends of tho Executive, in that body, brought forward a proposition, no doubt suggested by the Governor, that it is said will turn aside the veto. This is a provision- for a -re-issue of one million of dollars of relief notes, Jive hundred thousand dollars qfTwhich is to bo appropriated to avoid the planes, onVbundrcd thousand dollars (o improve the Colum. bia railroad,and four hundred thousand dollars to bo applied towards the 'complotibn of (he North Branch canal. Thus, it will bo seen that the Governor holds tho terror of the veto over- members interested in these improvements, if they propose.to make them in a proper and. legitimate manlier,.hut Jells them they can obtain their object by coming into his cherished - measure of issuing small relief holes. s This is os i strong an evidence of Ihe inconsistency of Whiggcry hi lias recently been exhibited.

The North Branch Cjnal,—A furious onslaught, says the Pennsylvanian, la made upon the Deraocia* tie parly of the House of Representatives of this Stale, by the Harrisburg correspondent of the JVbrfA American, because the appropriation for tho North Branch Canal, was carried In that body, by a Urge majority, a few days ago, and it U sought to invoke parly hostility to it on tho ground that It is voting away money when the Commonwealth Is not able to afford it. When we recollect that Johnston, in 1838, literally strewed the North with promises In favor of this canal, opd pledged himself to its speedy complo tlon, the,sincerity of the Whigs on this will bo found to bo about as it is on other questions. Whether it is not the dictate of enlightened economy to finish this great work at the oarlleet possible day, so as to mike it a source of revenue to the Stale—especially when we reflect that the accruing interest upon Us cost bids fair to rival the amount of, the principal is a very plain consideration, and doubtless it weigh, od heavily with those representatives who voted in favor of the appropriation.
