Tax Fourth.— Capt. George Crop's company, the Rifles, 11 paraded on tho Fourth, and celebrated the day .at tho Mooting House Springs. They had jk fine time of it, we understand, and biyoyeTihemßilvoi^up' to nature.- our engagement* prevented us accepting the kind in* viUtion of the Committee to join in tho celebration.

Mr. Kerb is a young man who served a faithful apprenticeship with us when we conducted the Stale Capitol Gazelle at Harrisburg. He la a man possessed of fine tab enls, and a Democrat from principle. The Repub. Kean carries.at lu mast head the name of our val ued friend, John,Bigler, for Governor, and speaks confidently of his triumphant election. We sin cerely wish our friend George success, and we trust ho may always keep in remembrance the ad vice we gave him when ho parted from us. He served us faithfully as an apprentice—ho served bis country faithfully, and„diatinguUhed- himself aa a Captain of a.troop of horso in the Mexican war, and we have no doubt he is now prepared to serve the Democratic party and defend its princi ples. Again wo Bay, success to our b oy, George Kerr, and the San Joaquin Republican, Wo learn that when the Committee waited upon Governor Johnston, to inform him of hie nomina* ttODfbe staled that ho would not give hie consent to accept it, until he knew tho character of tho re solutions which would bo adopted by tho Convcn-1 lion.

Dr. Grido, together with several other physicians, Were called in, Who pronounced it n case of gen uine Asiatic Cholera. The deceased lingered in the most Intense suffering until about 0. o’clock on Saturday evening, when he died.. ; ' “JOHNSTON AND ONE TERM.” v After the nomination of WilliamF. Johnston for Governor, in 1848, the '“one term principle” ap peared to'bo a fayorila jiobby with the Federalists. ( * Johnston and olie in glaring capitals at the editorial columns of every Federal sheet lri*tlio Stale; “one term,” was inscribed upon their flags and their banners, and “one term,” was the theme that the orators of that party particularly dwelt upon. /But yet In the face of all their hypocritical professions,.the Fed eralists have nominated Johnston, for hot merely a second, but for what may almost be considered a third term, in defiance of the provisions of tho Con stitution itself! Such is Federal profession compared with p.rac- i lice. Every position assumed by the Federal par* t ty when Johnston was before the people. In 1848, I is now abandoned. Then they favored the 11 one 1 term principle;” now they repudiate that principle. ' TVien they opposed the exercise of tho veto power 1 by the Executive; now they applaud Gov. John ston because of the violation of his solemn pledges, and his reckless exercise of the “one man power.” Then they condemned the granting of pardons to convicted criminals; now they defend their Gover nor for having turned loose upon society many of the most desperate contained in the Eastern Penitentiary. , Then they found fault with public officers (men in the employ of the Stale,) because of their interference in politics; noth Gov. Johnston employs the time of the clerks in the de -1 partmCnts for.writing infamous lying articles for a (degraded arid disreputable pot-house sheet publish s'odal Harrisburg. Then they professed; (but the people know this profession to be false,) to be op ’ posed to small notes, or more properly speaking, ; shin-plaslers; now they favor , the issue of .those I. rags, and last winter Gov. Johnston favored an increase of THE State Dedt, by recommending i* an isssuo of .ONE MILLION OF DOLLARS 01? 'i SHIN-PLASTERS! Let his hireling scribblers at Harrisburg deny this if they dare. Then they professed to bo opposed to proscribing men because of their political opinions; now they, bbldly advo- I cate the doctrine, and practice it, that “ to the vic tors belong the spoils.** We might go on, if we feUdisposed/mourcom pariaon of Federal professions vs . Federal acls, bu wo desist for the present. The people, thank God have had their eyes opened, and they see and feel that these professions were merely made for the purpose of deceiving the people, the belter to en able a greedy army of office seekers to obtain pow er and plunder. The people, we say, cannolagain [bo deceived, cheated and hood-winked by unprin cipled Federal demagogues who gamble in poli tics. The coming contest will convince our op ponents that deception and fraud may succeed for a time, but eventually must meet a merited con demnation. TUB CANVASS DEFOIIK US. The Democratic and Federal parlies of lliis State have placed before the people their respective candi-. dales to be voted for bn the second Tuesday of Oc tober. On the ono side is arrayed Federalism in all its hideous ugliness; on tho other, Democracy, la its beauty and purity.. At the head of one ticket appears the name of.that,crafty .Abolitionist, John* bton ; at tho head of the other, tho honored , name of that honest mun and tried patriot. Col. William Bigler. Neat on tho Federal ticket is John Stroiiu, a Lancaster county Federalist, the same gentleman who was a member of Congress during tho Mexican «»•*- nnd wlio, whan a proposition was .pbnding to I vole anppffes to w urato dng-unoie ua mf-w posed’, tho American nnnyi voted NO, in order Ip ’tbwtrflho efforts of lire a'drarnrstratiorr, and Indict i misery, if nol dealh on our gallant troops, in prefer- I once to extending that "aid and comfort" which ' every man who valued American honor or felt de sirous of sustaining American rights, was oagor and anxious should bo bestowed. On tho Democratic tick et wp find the name of Gen. Seth Clovxr, of Clarion, a man of honesty, capacity and worth, who hssl never acted the part of a traitor to hie country, in times of war or peace,but who has ever been a faith ] ful Republican Democrat. Of the Judicial nomlna lons wo need nol speak, except to say that ono of tho Federal candidates was a member of Geo.-Taylor'e < i cabinet, when that stupendous fraud ond robbery of ' the Treasury look place, and which was sanctioned and approved of by him—wo mean the groat “Gol phin robbery.” Tho Democratic candidates fur the Supremo Bench are men of groat legal learning, whoso characters are beyond reproach and above suspicion. Their election is certain! Let the people choose! Ours is the parly to which have boon attached all the truly groat sages ond statesmen of our country, comprehending within the catalogue Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson, Polk, Buchanan, Cass; Houston, Foote, King, and others. Tho opposing or Federal party, although numbering mony good men, nevertheless embraces in Us number those who composed, the Hartford Convention, and the still later traitors who attempted (ogive 11 did and comfort ’* to tho Mexicans after Americans had been shot down on their own soil. Tho Federalists, at a party, have been opposed to their country daring every war wo have ever had— Ilho Democrats, on the other hand, have granted supplies to American troops during war, and assis. led by every moans in their power, to protect tho 3 stars and stripes from insult and defeat. Again wo say, let the people choose I HON. JMIDB CiIUPDELL. While it necessarily nfiorda the greatest pleasure \ to every true Democrat (says the Heading OazcUeM to witness tho harmony and union of tho Demo cratic parly throughout tho Slate, on tho nomina tions made by tho Heading and Harrisburg Con ventions—giving tho best assurance of tho triumph of pure principles in administering the Government of tho State and Notion—(hat pleasure is consid erably enhanced, by the manifest determination of tho people to frown down any attempt at persecu tion for opinions* sake. A few misguided men, who have no doubt seen their error before (his lime, showed a disposition to proscribe the gentleman whoso name heads this article, on account of his associations and supposed religious tenents. Tho fact, however, no sooner became known, than the good honest sense of tho people revolted at the idea. If this thing begins here, where will itond, and whoso turn will come next! was the natural inqdiry; aiid just as might have been expected, tho public sympathy,on this great recognized principle of toleration is likely to redound vastly, to his; ad vantage. On inferring to our exchanges, wo soo enough to satisfy"us that the whole ticket will bo cordially supported, and, wo may add; triumph antly elected. ~ • Another Constitutional Triumph.— The, Re formed Constitution of Ohio, has been adopted by a,majority of IS.CSS voles, according to ,the in complete returns in. the Ohio Statesman, To BE Huno Tho Governor of Maryland lias signed tho death warrants of Taylor, Shelton and Murphy, who Wore convicted of the murder of tho Ooedon family, in Kent county.. They nro to hb executed on Friday tho lut at August. . •» GOV* JOHNSTON'S SINKING FOND.'' Every Federal,newspaper wo pick up contains an artiblo under’ the above caption, arid all written In (ho .same strain. From this it is evident that these articles are-written'dr dictated at Harrisburg, under the eye of the 1 Governor himsClft - Suoh being thb case, wo shall notice a few of thp many falsehoods they contain. , .It is gravely assorted that “Gov* Johnston has created a Fund, by which our State debt will very soon bo wiped,out,” &o. Now.evoiy man with oven a limited knowledge, of State affairs, knows that this statement is erroneous—fu, falsehood from beginning.to end.., Gov. Johnston has not cre ated a Sinking Fund, nor has ho originated a solitary measure calculated, to diminish the Slate debt* It. is to Qov. Siiunk that the pcoplo aro indebted for the revenue measure called tho. “ Sinking Fund." It was “ honest Frank Shunk ” who originated tho idea of sotting apart a certain amount yearly for the payment of a portion of tho principal of the State debt. The payment ;of tho State interest which necessarily was suspended for two or three years during Gov. Porter's administration, was resumed by .Gov. Suunk, and means were devised by him for restoring tho crcdit oflho Slato. GoV. Johnston has, it Is true, continued tho policy of .his predecessor in oQice, and for doing this.ho has tho presumption to claim the credit of originating the plan by which tho State credit has been saved. And Gov. Johnston is enabled. to carry out the_ royennd measures as'laid down by Gov. Suunk without diffi culty, for U is a notorious fad that tho revenue derived from our 'public .improvements, undc.r tho iudicious and careful management of Democratic Canal Commissioners, is augmenting ever/ year. Tho annual receipts from the public works,-show a heavy increase over the year previous, and by this moans the State Treasury is replenished and enabled to pay off punctually the annual interest, meet the current expenses of government, and have a liancj. some sum loft to bo appropriated- to the Sinking Fund. What right, therefore, has Gov. Johnston to any of thocrcdil for the healthy condition ofJfefc Stale finances? He never originated any plan of his owni but adopted Gov. Skunk’s plan, and now mod ceily claims the praise for restoring tho State credit! This is not only dishonest, but moan and contempti ble. •To Gov. Shunk,wb.ropcal,aro the people indebted for originating the-revenue measure -providing for the gradual liquidation of lire Stalo.debt. was a slalesman-r-a man of mind—a man who had -the [ honor of the Stale at heart. Gov. Johnston has not the ability to originate any groat measure—ho has not the mind—for, with all the puffing bestowed upon him by hired Federal scribblers, (totoo of whom hold clerkships in the public offices at Harrisburg.) Gov. Johnston is'a very ordinary man in. intellect. Previous to his accidental elevation to his, present office he resided in Armstrong county, and was con sidered about a third or fourth ralorlawyor., And for him to attempt now to rob that truly groat man, Francis R. Shook of tho wise measures ho origina ted, reminds us of the attempt of the ass to pass himself off for a lion. . • Tile Governor also attempts to make capital for himsclfrbccauso the Slate Interest, for several years past, has been paid in’par fund*. , Qov« Johnston asks credit for- this !• Modest man. ■ Wo,have no doubt ho also thinks that ho; is entitled 'to credit for tho plentiful harvest which is now being gathered. Now U is Well known that tho Governor has nothing whatever to do with,the payment of tho Slalo inter est, and when Federal editors attempt to mako cap ital by parading Governor. Johnston’s, name before ithoic readers id connection with tho payment,of the interest, they presume upon tho. ignorance of their readers, for every intelligent, .that the — ■ tho fe^^ 1 who pays off tho Slalo interest, pays In par funds, j( is evidence .(hat ha is a good officer, < and deserves credit for his madagofrnent of-the I Treasury., It was during Col. Snowden’s adminis-l Italian of the Treasury Department that a com mencement was made to pay the Stale interest in par funds, and such has been tho practice over since. Gov.. Johnston is about as much entitled to praise for this as wo are. OPERATIONS OP THE V, S. JIJINT FOIL JUNE. From the slalomcnt of the operations of tho U. S.

Tho Whig resolutions arc restricted to an approval oflho compromise measures, and a pro position for the repeal oflho Stole law just mention ed, was refused consideration. So that Iho Whig l Convention has not come up to tho hopes and expec tations of the friends oflho Union. To curry into full effect tho compromise acts, tho uso of tho jails for the temporary confinement of fugitive slaves may bo absolutely necessary j and, yet the Convention would not sanction the motion for the- repeal of the Srohibilory law. Tho Convention also failed in its uty in another important particular. An amend, ment to tho resolutions was offered by Mr. John M.

A committee of ginllemen of Cal ifornia, whose names vvb publisp below, having the fullest confidence in the triumphant election ot their candidate, givo the following challenge to Pennsylvania. We copy from the Sacramento Transcript of June Ist. , “Another Ohau.enoe.— lt ta well known, that w hi)o tho Democracy of oiir Slato have nominated 001.

Wo have so much confidence in t)ie triumphant success of our candidate by an whelming majority—tho. rivalry is of such a char-, acler, as to enlist-lhe warmest response of our de mocracy, that wo think wo can venture to assert that the next Steamer, will carry out a formal let ter of acceptance from Pennsylvania to California* Whoever wins the Banner, llio cherished sons of Pennsylvania, will be successful, and the De mocracy of tho Union will glory in the success of both.
