The enthusiastic manner in wjiioji the nomina* tion of William Bioler has beenresponded to by. the Democracy of Pennsylvania,,l« iculieelf flat tering eVjdendo of the high estimation. In “which his Character is held by the people, arid: affords the most gratifying earnest of the zeal and unani mity with which bo> will bo supported for the ex ecutive chair. It is'for no light and mutable-reasons that the freemen of Pennsylvania have determined'fo rally upon. Col. Biolgr, and elect him Governor. The manner in which Gov. Johnston has administered the affairs of Government for the last three-years —his violation of every' promise made' to the people previous to his election—his career of in defensible political profligacy—his violation of every cardinal principle of republican policy—his painfully corrupt and improper official acts—is evidence to the people that a radical change must be effected In the administration of their govern ment! if the interests and honor of the State are to be preserved. The people demand a change, and they will have it. To effect this change,’ it is ah. solutely necessary that a man of sufficient talents and.energy of character—a man of sterling integ rity and independence, be chosen as! the head of the new administration. That.indiyidnal the peo ple of the State will discover in Ool.. William] Biolgr, who is in the vigor of. life and intellect— who possesses fine talents—who has the benefit of many years of observation and public, service— who is emphaticallya self-made man”—who is in all respects adequate to the emergency. His election is certain—yes, certain,'by a sweeping [ majority; and his installation will, date the dawn of a new era in Pennsylvania, A profligate and venal ruler will then pass into merited obscurity, and an honest and faithful steward will assume the helm. 001. Bioler is the choice and the hope of the sterling Democracy of this good old Com monwealth. Around him they will rally with en thusiaslio devotion, feeling well assured, that through' him they will , in time escape from the curse of an unwise ruler, whose errors he Will re gard as beacons to be shunned, rather than exam ples to be followed. DEMOCRATIC CLUBS* We cannot too earnestly * urge upon our Demo* , cratlo brethren of this county, a a6 throughout (he ■ Stale, the necessity, of a completohrgqnizalion, ■ The 1 Federalists are actively engaged In m orahalling their forces for the fight, and it ia reasonable to expect that the most desperate and reckless means will be ' resorted to, for the purpose of carrying their per nicious doctrines. Deception, falsehood, pipe lay ing, fraud, bribery and corruption will again bo resorted to by our Federal opponents. How impor tant, therefore, is it that the Democratic parly should organixo for the contest, and be prepared to meet and effectually repel the many Federal slan ders put in circulation by the adherents of Governor Johnston? . Every county, township,'town, and vil lage in the Slate, should form DEMOCRATIC CLUBS, for the purpose of disseminating correct principles amongst (he people of the State, and thus overthrow (ho false statements put in circulation by our opponents. This is no time for procrastination —we must cast aside our luke-warmness at once, and go to work determined to do our duty faithfully, mlously, end effectually. Remember, Democrats ofPennsylvanla, that the old Keystone stands pledg-, ed to bor sister Slates Ter 15,000 majority for the Domocratic licket. Will you not, each and every one of you, assist not only , by your Vote but by influence and hourly and cfiolon) support, to redeem I this pledger and io swell iho Democratic army to (numbers that wifi aflfbrd even a greater majority for our candidates? We believe and true! you will. Let each Democrat in Pennsylvania determine to make one more vole bonidcs his own for the Demo cratic ticket—let each one. feel it incumbent upon himself to convince and convert his luke-warm or deceived friend or neighbor of his error—let him bo convinced by argument, facts, and documentary evidence that the cause of Democracy Is (ho cause of the people—that by Us perpetuity, only, can the I people of this Union expect prosperity ond happi ness. It is the same glorious cause for which our] forefathers fought, bled, and conquered—it ia the cause “which knows no baseness, cowers to no dan ger, oppresses no weakness—destructive only of des potism, it Is the sole conservative of liberty, labor, and property." Democrats of Pennsylvania! you have the power in your own bands to carry the State by SO,OOO majority. Then be up and doing, and (ho victory you will achieve will bring glad ness to the heart of every republican and lover of his country. COL. BABIOEL W. BLACK* We had tho pleasure of taking by (be hand, last , week, Col. Samuel W. Black, of Pittsburg. He was a Delegate to the Judicial Convention, and (ho •pooch he delivered before that body was pronounced by all who hoard It, as one of the finest displays of extemporaneous eloquence over listened to, and ro* fleeted infinite credit upon his powers as a debater. Col.

No man in tho Stale is more de serving tho fostering care of tho Democratic par: ty than Col. Black. At the proper time our aid i shall not bo found wanting to bring his name Tor* I ward for tho highest office la the gift of the people] of Pennsylvania.

THB DBMOCRATIC JublClAli TICKET. Tha proceedings of the Democratic Judicial Contention, which met at Harrisburg, on Wed nesday of last week, will befeund in another col umn, The Convention was composed of the first men of the Slate—men who felt that they had a heavy responsibility resting upon them, but who, had the moral courage to faceihat responsibility, and thus discharge, in a faithful manner, tho du ties for which they were delegated* First on the list, and he who received the high est vote in Cpnye,niipn i .is_Jw£6Ujiiiui^.^ii>iCK l of Somerset county. The nomination of ,this distin guished Jurist ami Democrat, is peculiarly gratify ing to the people of this county. Of all the can didates spoken of, Judge Black was the fret choice of the Democrats of “Old Mother Cumberland.” He is a man of giant; intellect, a strong, powerful writer, whose legal acquirements signalize him as the man for the Supreme Bench of Pennsylvania. The next nominee is that much abused, but up right man; James Campbell, of Philadelphia.— During a recent visit to Philadelphia we became acquainted with Judge Campbell, and found him as his friends represented him—a warm-hearted man, of Irreproachable: deportment, and pleasing address.. Ifhe is “incompetent,” as his enemies represent him, then we confess we' are no judge of physiognomy. The best lawyers of the State, however, were'the men who supported him by their votes in tho State Convention.. It is not very probable, that such distinguished lawyers as the venerable Wilkins of Pittsburg, Col. Black, Mr. Burke, and Mr. Magrew, of Pittsburg..Mr. Steri gereof Montgomery* and others whose names we might nWntlon—it is not very likely, we say, that men could have been induced to support Judge Campbell, had they not been entirely satisfied that he was fully com petent. -The vote Judge CaTbpbell received in Convention, and the charaolefof the men who vo ted for. him, is a triumphant vindication of his character as a man and sound Jurist. He is a De mocrat, loo— an honat Democrat. We shall sup . port Judge Campbell’s nomination with alt tho > ability we pan command, because we know trim to be an honest jnfiii—an abb man—a self-made man—and a sound Jurist. He has been persecuted, slandered, and vilified,, and^for Jfils reason we shall work the harder for him. Nest on the list Is Ellis. Lewis of Lancaster. We have known Judge Lewis many, many years. He Is our personal and political friend, and as a jurist ranks with the ablest in -the State. By his own energy, industry, and perseverance, Judge L. has. surmounted all obstacles, and for many years occupied a high position ifi'one “learned in the law.” He started in the world a poor boy, and after be had served a faithful apprenticeship to the printing business, he' turned his attention to the law. His. fine talents, his'energy of character, his sterling integrity and worth, soon attracted the attention of many friends, who.encduraged him in due laudable efforts. Judge L* is known, we pre sume, to nearly every lawyer of our State. His works and decisions arp standards in the profes sion, and furniah of his sound practical sense, find great legal abilities, J udge Lewis is also, a true and reliable Democrat, and always has been. -V Next in nomination is Xgdyfe B. Gibson, the Chief Justice of the prcsehi.Supremo Court.— Judge. Gibson is a resident 'of bur, own town, but yet we have no acquaintance With irim. necessary that we ahyald »p#»k for iiis reputation is as wido-sprcad as His deoisions are regarded evefy whore wrlli J lU* speot by the legal prOfessioo,,and aro looked upon as the emanation of a giant intollcut. No one will dispute Judge Gibson's powerr as a jurist—but, as to his democracy, we emphatically say—noth ing! Last on the list, though by uolncans the least. is Walter IK Lowitie, of Allegany county* We believe burs was tho second paper in the State to urge the nomination of this excullent roan and dis tinguished jurist for tho A Supremo Bench. Al though not personally acquainted with. Judge Low- rie, wo havo known him by reputation for a long time. We have read his decisions, end although we make litlto pretence to a knowledge of the law ourself, we were nevertheless struck with the plain practical sound sense contained in those papers. Judge L. is now one of the Judges of the Dis trict Court of Allegheny coanty. Do has always been a hard and persevering student, ami has thus acquired a reputation as a Jurist such as any man might envy. The manner in which the highly intelligent delegates from his own county supported him* showed the estimation In which he is held by those who know him best. Judge Lowrio, like Judges Blacky Campbell, and Lewis, is a faithful Democrat, . Such, follow Democrats is the ilokel for the Su preme Bench. That it will be sustained at the polls, we have not a doubt. . GUN* gIBTH CLOyVQt. Mr. Clover, our candidate for Canal Commission cr, (says (ho Pittsburg Port,) is bo Well known to (ho people of tlio State (hat proiio weald seem to be supererogatory; but we c&n'vontuifo, notwithstand ing, to say, that a more competent* man could not have been ohoson, for the station of Canal Commit* •loner, either In the State or out of lu Commending 1 out friends, the nominees, to the ftatleu and honosl 1 voUrs of Pennsylvania, we shall \ upon their motlu, when tbo proper iktamont arrives; . and wo have no doubt abottLAbe their docl* , atom 3 Canal CoiAitsiioNEtt.—Tho candidate for Com!

None who'knovv him will doubt Ids capacity for the post to which be has boon so triumphantly nominated; none will doubt his in* (ogrity in tho faithful performance of his duties.— Nonietoion Regitter, Setii Clover, tho candidate of the parly for Canal Commissioner is a gentleman of intelligence, with a thorough knowledge of (ho different departments of our stale improvements, and hos had full experience in conducting business on the pdljllo works. Ho |s 'a good business man,and will receive a gratifying election in October*—S/ar of the North. Col. Bigler was nominated by acclamation, his only competitor, Col.

Gentlemen The nomination of Col. Bigler by tho Democratic Slate Convention is already an os-, ccrtained certainly. Tho purpose of this letter is to request that you will depart from your.instructions and not name me us a candidate for the office of Governor. ' Concert of thought and.unanimity in the.evening of preparation gives goodly promise of a glorious day. in action. Let not ye bo an obstacle in the way of perfect harmony, but mher lot us rejoice that we in the West can minister to tho triumph of the parly that knows no section in State nor Country. IT I did not believe that the entire nation was inte rested in our success at the Stale election, I might not be go earnest at tho first of the fight; but 1 do believe that the security of the Union depends upon tho issue in Pennsylvania, and therefore, "in my heart of hearts,”,feet most anxious. Governor Johnston, against whom and towards whom. I never have, and never 1 will employ an un* Kind word, has dedicated himself to & re-election. — Ills resources arc neither few nor- feeble. . Suppose he succeeds, it is a declaration on the part of Penm aylvania that she is determined to disturb the meas ures of conciliation and compromise which have put past troubles to sleep. To those measures the Dem ocratic party is so fur committed; and ho, 1 think, equally committed bn the other side.. Let the centre of the Union sbpko the Union, and what becomes oi the trembling branches of the tree? ' 1 do not belong to the secure class of sinners, who do not think there is any need of alarm, because danger docs not thunder daily at our door. Nor do J blitu 4 wtu^ULpoLlootw Wcau»#,Wa puteued ostrich, thejraan hide their heads In the sand: but 1 do ndmlre those who, calculating not the valuo.of (he Union, but the danger of. U, endeavor, by wise and Just moans, to still (ho storm before it breaks upon the best hopes of the true heart, And they are to bo the more ud. : mired becauio the storm breaks and wastes itself upon them, and not upon their,country. The peace of this Union hna been troubled, and may be.troubled again. Lot us,'not by hollow pro fessions, blit by nets of fidelity, and firmness, bo true to every several right (he Constitution gives to every several section of the country. Then wo are Ame ricans and worthy of the name. You will excuse me for running into this earnest expression, bat Tfcol it tll nnd cannot keep from saying It. I consider the American Union tho great est human institution that was ever formed, and next to (ho Christian religion, tho greatest blessing our misfortunes have over met, to inuko easy the burdens of a v/oary lIAs, and I regard oven the dan* gcr of Its dissolution as most deeply to bo deplored. Wo oan groan and sweat without much agony, under the load of life’s, sorrows, so long as wo have a country. But lake that away, and wo lmvo.no hoorl for anything, and no manhood to meet any thing. . When tho Moidlo exploded some years ago on the Ohio river, tho arras and legs, with tho heeds and hearts of men woro scon flying through tho air.—- That was very like a Union exploded, dismembered and destroyed. Tho more horrible after H» deslruc lion, because of its beauty before. It is impossible not to lovo tho thought and the man who made the thought* ns well expressed os this: u The Slates of the Union, distinct os the bil lows, and one like the •«." And may wo not add: the waves of the sou roll in their appropriate spheres, wrapping themselves daily and nightly around each other, and ore broken only when driven against the fock or the shore. The wisdom of our fathers rising from tho mlghly deep of tho oncelrol pa.l, boaoeohoo no to avoid tho breaker, which they carefully and .afeiy .banned. Very tru,y.
