Such an arrangement would destroy much of tho opportunity for wastefulness, and would result in the saving of largo amounts to the Stale Treasury.” We lake the above extract from Gov. Johnston’s speech, delivered before tho Federal Stale Conven tion at Doncaster. When the. Whigs were in power in this Stale, agd when the' three Canal Commission lers wore appointed by the Governor, how did ithap* pen that “a representation in the Board of each of the political parlies of the Stale", was not recoin mended then 7 Daring tho Rilncr dynasty three full blooded Whigs composed “the Canal Board.p Then, indeed, wsB*'WMlefulnefla ,, pracilcod—sje v tliq people’s money was squandered by thousands, and used for base political purposes. If: Gov, Johnston hod the power vested In him to appoint the three Canal Commissioners, Is 'it ai oil likely that he would select a Democrat as one of the Board? Not ho. Bui he uses the language bfa hypocrite to in. dues the people to believe that ho would like to sco the Canal Board composed of men. of*,different- poll* lice J The dishonesty of this. profession “slicks out a feel,” Why did not Joseph Rilnor, when .he op* pointed bis.three Canal Commissioners, select one from the Democratic parly ?. /VVhon our Federal op. pononts answer this question, the,people may bo in duced to bcliovo thorn honest in their present-pro fessions* Now, In our opinion, U would be'a'sorioos injury. to Iho State to have the Board ofCahal Commission ers composed of men of different politics. It inva riably creates jealousies and a division of sentiment tin regard to the business of the Board. We‘ need only instance tho Tact that daring the three years that Mr. Power (a clever man but p violent Whig,) was a member of the Canal Board, there was lcss harmony and more wrangling In the Board.than ever was known before*.■ Two Democrats'and Mr. Power composed the Board,' Mr. Power was ever vigllcnl—not In lh, of Philadelphia.

' THE FEDERAL STATE CONVENTION 'Tho Federal Slate Convention 'which met it the oily of Lancaster on the 24th ulf., placed in nomi nation the following ticket:. - , , ‘ Governor, William F. Johnston; Canal Com missioner; JohriStrohm, Lancaster oonnlyi Judges Supreme Bench, George Chambers, Franklin; R. Coulter, Westmoreland; J. W. Wm. M. Meredith, Philadelphiat.and“Wm.

V.■- ' r,:.'. ‘ Tho editor of the Heading Gaie/fe; who hMpen ed to bo in Lancaster, during tho ,sessions of the Convention, and who witnessed the proceedings, thus speaks.of it.' ' “ Gov. JoHN9TON,’ r Says the Gazette, was re-noralnatod unanimously, as overy body allhongh there appeared to be.con siderable difficulty injffie way of his accepting, the honor. Im'raediately'afier tho nominailonSv\Vhich was made about 2 o'clock, P. M., a Committee was appointed to wait npon the Governor,.apprise him thereof; andtinyile his attendance in the 1 Con vention. “The Committee retired, and further pro ceedings were suspended, in expectation, that he would soon be brought in.' But the convention waited and waited, until an hour had passed, and , yet no Governor made his appearande. At length'; it was'whispered about, that he refused to accept titC' nomination until He knew what' platform he would be, expected to, mount. Accordingly, the convention adjourned for an hour, to await tho re port-of ihe committee on : Resolutions. At 4 o*- i clock, if re-assembled, and the committee through its. chairman, Mr.' Attorney General Daubach, re ported the series. ! The adoption of the resolutions was, immediately moved, when' Jonh M, 1 Scott, ‘Gsq., roseiand offered the ono.whlch was marked as No. 8 in Ihe sel laid before the oOmmillee,£but by that body stricken out) as art amendment. It was in the following worda , "HcsoheJ, That tho provisions of the Consliln tion in reference io the rendition of fugitives held to service,or labor; demand,and shall receive from oor parly a faithful, mahlyv and nncqoivoeal .■sup port.',’, V.'n'J : -.- This was the signal for a long, discursive, and exciting debate, in which the discordant’elements at work among bar opponents, were exhibited in a strong light.' Various expedients Wars resorted to, in order to slave off a direct vote upon the reso lution. Mr. HomtAN, of Berks, moved' that it bo laid on the table, until the main resolutions were disposed of, but at the solication of Mr. Bell, af terwards withdrew the motion. An amendment I was subsequently proposed, to the effect that Penn sylvania, would consent to assist the South in pro- Icoling her slave property, if the South would in return, yield tbe;Nortb adequate protection to her manufactures. But this met little favor, and. was denounced in several quarters, as a proposition at onoo'base and mercenary, "Mr. BoyEh,"of.Mont gomery, said that “if it were right to aid in exe cuting the Fugitive Slave law, no bribe should bo 1 solicited from, the South; and if it were, wtrong.no bonus, in Ihe shape of a high tariff, would make it right,”Mr*. Sconythe mover of tho resolution, made an earnest and eloquent speech in favor of maintaining good faiih witii'tho Sooth* by a strict observance pf the terms of the compact entered in* to at the fbrlnatlon of the Union; and JacrOgle, (as he wfoniljatly called) spoke on etde, In oo exceedingly witty and point- j ed speech, which feepttho convention in a conlin-j 1 ual tow ©daughter.

About* doxwt epoecjUs were medirop ihc; other side,' >fl of- (hem sirorigly tinctured with ffee-floiHsm and Abolitionism. The Fugitive Stave law was denounced as “ inhuman and unchristian,” and many expressions of abhor rence were altered at the idea that free-born Penn sylvanians should cringe to the South, and turn alave-hontora.at their arrogant command. These sentiments wore warmly applauded, and It was evident that the Ffee-Soilers were largely in the majority; but still the National Wbigs fought their ground bravely, nod there Is no telling when the. debate would have ended, had it not been cotsbort by a motion, from Hon. Samuel Dell, of the pre vious question. The caii was sustained by a vole of 71 to 48, and under a decision of the chair the previous question cut off tho amendment as well as all debate* the main question was "put, arid (ho resolutions as reported, wore, adopted—yeas 92, pays 27. So the National Whigs wore floored —the Compromise measures were condemned*-* Fillmore* ' Webstbr and Clav were rebuked—Srid Scott arid Johnston carried the day for free-soil and Abolitionism. Then, and not till then, it was announced that the Govemor v would honor the Convention with 1 his presence in tho evening, and accept in person*: the nomination previously ten dered him. We Dixie one of a crowd—certainly not largoi than our ordinary town meetings—which stood in front of the' old Lancaster. Court-House, (o' heat Cot. Johnston's speech. It was nearly two hours long, and so labored and tiresome, thatitwaswilh the utmost difficulty the “ faithful'-’ could ralso a few faint hurrahs to help the Governor through.— Ho spoke about the Tariff at some length, reiter ating all the stale arguments which have lost their .point, and grown tiresome, oven to the most loyal Whigs. He next claimed for himself a good deal of credit for having “perfected" (not “originated," ns ills papers claim}' the sinking fund system’, whioh'Wlil eventually—he did not any how soon , —pay off the State debt. Ho IfflS passed to tW* , considciation of tlio project broached last WlnloT, , io abolish (ho Board,of Canal Commissioners, end place the Public Works entirely under the control of, one man, wilh tho title of Superintendent, &e„ which was urged ms)nly Upon tho.ground that the Canal board ie composed of Democrats. He made an attempt (o show that the Northern ocolion of the Stale is indebted to him for securing appro priations' for completing the unfinished Improve menle in that quarter. . Finally, tho Governor ••dame to tho p’lnl," and,took dp the adjustment measures,of the late Congress. He positively de clared’ that he would never have voted fir them r and, as for tho Fugitive Slave law, although il.domando obedience while it remains a law, he would tiiao his best endeavors for lie amendment or,repoal.t— Ho excused his refusal lb sign tho bill repealing tho obnoxious ocolion of tho Act of 1847, by urg ing that, although they who passed it colled It art important measure, they did not think proper to send It to hi(n until nl the last hour of the session!, and, without venturing an opinion ns to its Jusiico or expediency, or Inlimsllng what'wore hia Inlon- Ilona concerning It, ho said that his rights as Ex ecutive allowed hinj to retain any bill'pbsscd at tho oloso of one session until throe days after the commencement of the next, and he was determined to aland upon those rights. This ended Governor Johnston’s speech, and in It lira doom to which he and hid parly are destined, wob foretold aa p|tl|ily ai an embarrassed manner and tho bbpiolopi|iess of a position directly.antagonistic to the best men in the Whig ranks, could speak. 4 Ogle was then called for, and charitably came forward with one of tiia,characteristic speeches, to arouse the Gov ernor’s from the dullness and apathy into which they had been talked. Hla success was .only partial. . . ' t John Stboiim, of Lancaster county, received the nomination for. Canal Commissioner. He was one of the fourteen ‘‘bloody hand and hospitable grave” Mexican sympathizers in Congress, who voted against granting supplies to out* gallant army* in Mexico, in order to thwart theadrainialratioinin its efforts to bring the war.to a successful and hon orable termination. This ‘‘unfortunate vole’Us it was styled by Mr, Gibsons, of Philadelphia, did Mr. Strohh’s business in the Whig Convention of IBsoi when he was a candidate for Canal Com missioner, and received but 15 votes; anil if we do not mistake the patriotism, of the people of Penn sylvania, ‘‘do .his busipesV’.just as effectu ally at the ballot-boxes. ’ -ii'.

Mes«s.:CbuL xbb, Comlev, Chambers and JeSsdp, are lawyers of fair standing; but with such men against thorn as Judges Black, Campbell* Lewis, Gibson and Lowiub, who have already attained , high, distinc tion at the Bar and on the Bench, the Democrats of Pennsylvania may go into the contest with no fears for tho result. RATIFICATION MEETING AT LANCASTER* r The Democrats.of the city nnd counly of Lancas* 1 ter hold a very large, and enthusiastic meeting, in j Lancaster on Saturday last, at which Dr. Levi. Hull presided; assisted hy a large-number of Vico Fresi* dents and Secretaries. Our TriendCapl; Sandehbon, editor of the Intelligencer, as Chairman of the Com ' rtittce, reported a series of strong'and spirited rcso* lotions, which were unanimously adopted.' After the adoption ofthoi resolutions, Mr. Buchan* am addressed the meeting at considerable length, in almost happy; and eloquent manner. Ho spoke of the strong -claims of Bigler, Clover; and the Dem ocratic candidates for the Supreme Bench, end urged it, as a duty incumbent-iipon every Democrat,,to yield a willing' and'hearty ( support "to,the whole ticket.". He also referred to the slavery question, and prooouncod an eloquent eulogy npontho Union.

But It was said 'the- Union was In' no danger; end men ciiod peace,, peace, as did, the ancient false prophets,.when there.was no peace.

OP PAA'NKLIN. 1 To the Editors of the PtnnOylvanian: Gknti.eukn —In, lho/course of a debate in the Democratic Judicial Convention, on Thursday In reply to*an unprovoked assault upon mo by Mr! David Wilmot, of I said that he waa pledged to.aupport the nontfnution of the Dem ocratic National Convention’, of 1848, and had after; ‘wards opposed U., -Mr. Wiltnot rejoined-at length utterly dcnylng it, and going into certain details to .prove his declarations. Sindalho adjournment of the Convention, a labotccl effort has been made to show that I failed in my charge against him, and .that" Mr. Wllmot fully vindicated himself. ~Ths purpose of this note.is not to prolong or to wopoa a discussion, but to plu6d mysqlf right) Ibeforo the .Democracy of the Stale, and »tq show that I was fortified by abundant evidence In bonfii motion of the charge which ho undertook spcbificilly ,lo deny, I would have,made this statement oh lira spot, but for my indisposition la prolraol the labors bf thcu Con - vention, already wearjcct out with, debate, and be. cause I did not t >os 1 do not, believe that there is any national Democrat who doubts Uiecntiro.lriuU of my charge. ; . Tinffb was ofjthp debate, JrUhe.Dento. crulic Stale' Convention of the 4th of March, 1848, (of which I was o member with Mr.’.Wilunol,) pub. lished in some of liio .Dcmocroliovpapors; but I hove not been nble j lo procure ft copy/ It Is, accord, ing to my own recollection, as it is to that of others, that Mr. Wilmot,’ln’ the 9pUr*e : pf:lho Convention of 1846, was pledged .as ,1. have asserted; and I think the report in question wilPmako this clearly oppear. Ho docs not deny that he,pledged Mr, Sanderson la llid .martner indicalcdj.and . lhat Mr. Sanderson was chosen :a delegate, to Baltimore on the strength of Mr. Wjlmot’a assurance to that effect. Ho gave.this hostage to the Convention, b*. cause, as he- declared,- and asalhwho know Mr., . Sanderson art awdre; Mr. Sariderson-was an honor, able map, and would faithfully obey InS-Jnstmctlons - of the Staid Convention,.ond swalously .support tho National-nomlnolions; What is tho converse of this proposition? If Mr. Sanderson supported (he State nomination at Baltimore, and tbegcnoral nom. inaliems after it, because |io-waa an “honorable” man, then Mr. Wilmot. was deeply dishonored by opposing thorn/ Indeed; Mr. Sanderson, was less committed, to both* than was Mr..'Wilmot, Mr. Sanderson was not a .delegate in the .-Democratic Slate ConvenlionMn 1848.> Mr. -Wilmot was; and he was bound by ils prpcoedinge, as every “honors, hie man” will admit. : It is quite true, that knowing himself, as he did, he would nollrual himself to go to Baltimore*for fear ho might break his pledgd.and so tarnish his reputationbut it is no, less history that what he feared ho might do in the early slago of tlie Campaign, ho subsequently did to the utmost of his ability* I said he wss pledged to thenomi. nation of the Democratic National Convention in 1848. That pledgfe he violated—violated wantonly and deliberately—rand, manner discreditable to himself. Among the resolutions adopted by the Democratic Stale Convention of 1848, of which ho was a ,member, and for which he voted—for they 1 wert adopted unanimously— and while he was in his teat—were the following t .\ t ■ 'l’hat this Convention pledge the faith ! of tlie Democratic parly bf-Pcnnsylvanin/how more i confident than ever in its giant strength;'to support lj, o nominations ‘of lb,o ■’National Convention, for I President and Vice President of the United Stales. ilssotwd, That we look upon Gen. Lewis Cass as « .rent nnd E lorlou.:tnati! .nd wbU.l w. relict, llml tho Democracy of Pennsylvania infinitely pre fer their own groat end pure man. Buchanan.toany other, me proclaim to the world that the choice of the Baltimore Convenlion t when /nitty mode,ihaU be ours . •’* , That Mr. Wilmot,oppoBed GcnmLCftM .ttflcr be ing thus deliberately pledged to is notorious. True, ho waited some |sJn* ppfpre show ing his hand ; took care first to gdt JlM'-Casa votes in his district for Congress, by Jlcttlng.lt- be under stood Uul he would not oppose the Democratic can. didfilo fbr‘iho Frbstdenl; and then, when elected himself, ho began to write private Idlers against General Cass, which, being mode known, ho openly look the alurrip against the Democracy and labored’ night end day, to obtain votes for Von Bnren. The gallant national Democrats of Bradford, Susquehan na, and Tioga, who :were deceived and betrayed— tho noble Democracy of the whole State who were defeated—will be surprised to hear. Mr. Wilmot now assert (bat he wss not pledged to suppoH General Cass, and that he denies being flbld responsible far conduct which they have so otlcn censured^, 1 make this statement not only -on my owni ac count, but because It is now the effort of tbe Whiff press to show that 1 was “ rebuked” In the Judicial Convention,v when I made tlie charge alluded to against. Mr. Wilmot. The telegraph has already carried out this' asßorllqn, to. different parts of the Union, anil feel .that qoltp.hoye It refuted will bo to inflict a slain upon tho’cscalclicqq of Pcnnsyl- I vonia. It vWOuld he ft false position be fore tho whole Union those who are so right, and so national, and sp,dotted to the, Constitution—who have from tho firsi most steadily opposed all the heresies of free soil and abolition, end resisted oil tho cfforls of faction and fanaticism; When Tmedb my bhargd agalnsl'Mr. Wilmot, some of hid friends’ protested against it, and aa the body w&s not a pb- ( lilieal body and tho President had repeatedly decided against political allusions during the discussions; i did not persevere in making (lie correction which I’ know I could mskei’nnd which it Was nc eensryfor mo to make after Mr. Wihnol’a speech. Put ft is utterly untrue that the Democracy of Pennsyl* vonia. ilhrobgh their representatives, rebuked mo for OBBcrling on historical fact, as 1 have established It to bo, in regard to one who hus done so much to overthrow the Democracy of the nation. Every member pf the Convention'that I have conversed will,-.and I hate communicated with many—has Vdiinlarily asserted that tho interruption of my rdmhrks dld not extend to more than a half down of the hiiHdred and thlrly.lhree delegates present.
