DAtPIIIN COUNTY. The Democrats of Dauphin county assembled in County Convention at Harrisburg, on Monday lust, fyf ihe purpose of placing in nomination a Coun ty Ticket.

THE 11EUALD THK SI ATB DEUT. Tho Carlisle Herald of last week lakes, nil extract from an article in oar paper oflho week in . which wo spoke of the Stale 4cht, dee. Our neighbor among other funny things, says:... .“The Volunteer is in the habit of making largo drafts upon the credulityiof its readers, but the ex* tract above is certainly the greatest insult it has lately offered to their intelligence. For wo hold that .Intelligent readers. are really insulted, when they are impudently asked to receive as truth whut is notoriously a bald falsehood.” . For the Herald to accuse us of “falsehood,” is (supremely ridiculous. Before that editor applies epithets to his neighborsi !wo ,’wduld say to him, “examino thyself.” • For'tho purpose of convincing our readers of the fairness of the Herald, and the honesty of Us statements, wo invito attention to tho following extract from on editorial article which appeared in avluto number, of that immaculate sheet: - “Two months after hia .induction ihtobiHeo—<-in August, rBfB—hc'(Govcrnor Johnston) paid tho in 'terest (of the public debt) promptly, without resort* ing to tho Locofoco.expedient of a loan.” Now, what object had our neighbor in view when ho wrote the above 7 Nothing rapro nor less-than to ‘impose upon those of hia readers who are too Ignorant to reason,.and induce them to believe that in two months Gov. Johnston, by some supernatural power, had raised money enough to pay (ho interest on tho Slate debt! ‘When our neighbor wrote the above sentence ho knew that he slated a'naked, unvarnished falsehood—ho£ncib that ho was making “ a largo draft’upon the credulity of hia readers,” and ho knew that men of senso would .laugh at a statement at Once so preposterous and. false. Ills notorious that the Governor had no more to do with the payment of the interest oliuded to, than had the editor of the Herald -himself. By tho wiso policy of Guy. Shunk, and the exertions of a Democratic Stale Treasurer, the interest has becmprompCty p-iitl fur many.years.- We would.'not’insult tjio good sense of our roddofo losrguolho falsity oflho Herald's stulemcrft..' And yet the cdilor can pul on a sanctified countenance, and hurl epithets at us. Such a-sheet should bo frowned upon by tho com* munily at large, and regarded in the same light as tho fellow attempting to fire the dwelling in which wo live. ' Tho Herald 100, not long since, assured Us read* ers that the Slate debt was not increased ono'cent during Rllnet’s administration! If wo thought tho editor made this statement in ignorance, wo could readily excuse him; but wo can’t suppose that.an editor of a public journal has so little knowledge of Stale affairs, and wo must therefore believe that lie made the statement knowing it to bo. false. Now we are prepared to prove from tho records, that at tho tiihcof Gov. Wolf’s retirement as tho. Execu- tive of the State, the debt of the ’Commonwealth was $24,955,435 56, and that Itilner, during his three years administration, added to this debt tho I sum of Jive millions,- seven hundred and eighteen thousand, seven hundred and eighty-threo dollars, and f\fly-eighl cents, and retired from office leaving a debt against the Commonwealth of $30,674,219 14. Now let the Herald deny our statement if it can. And yet this same truth-abiding shed had tho bold* ness to tell Us readers that tho State debt was not increased during Ritncr’s administration! . If tho debt of tho .Commonwealth has.not been increased under Johnston, it is because a Democrat* io House of Representatives would not permit him to increase it. This is a fact, which cannot be controverted. Johnston, no.longer back than last winter, tried bis best to induce tho Legislature to increase the State debt by* borrowing from tho banks one million o/ihinplasten ! Will our neighbor at tempt to deny this? Johnston, like Ritncr, desired an increase of the Slate debt, and was only preven ted from carrying out Ins.designs by tho obstinacy of the Democratic members of Assembly.. But, we haVo already said more on this subject than we had Intended. At another time wo stay take tho trouble to show in tthot i Say the public monies have been expended under the respective Stale administrations, when we may give the Items for which Jioe millions •o/ dollars wero expended by Ritncr, Stevens, & Co* The Canal .Commissioners and Free Tickets. The Harrisburg American charges the present Canal Commissioners with haying granted free tickets over the Philadelphia and Columbia Hail road to Delegates and others to the late Democra tic Heading Convention,,. We hope there is no troth in this charge—we believe, there h notrath in It. And one thing we ftnoiD, that tlxo Delegates in the Heading Convention who honored us with their rotes for Canal Commissioner, received no free tickets. Had freo tickets been offered them, they would have scorned (he offer. Let the American substantiate its charge, and we will join it in denouncing the Canal Commis sioners for having committed a gross wrong. Let it give the names of tho Delegates who accepted those tickets, and tho name of tho Canal Commis sioner who granted them. We want no mere as sertions—we want.the pronf t and if tho American knows all about this matter, as it asserts, it will furnish that proof. Until it docs this, its allega tions against the Canal Commissioners will be re garded as false, and put forth, for political effect. Pardoned.—President Fillmore has pardoned Mr. Georgo Baldwin, who was convicted, last year, In tho United States Circuit Court, in Williamsport, of robbing tiro mail at Groat Bond post office, in Sub quohanna county, and sentenced lo ten years’ con finement In tho Western penitentiary. Cloomkuum.—The short dresses have appeared in Green Bay, Wisconsin worn by squaws of tho Menomonee tribe, and the editor of tho Advocate thinks that “ In their anxiety to rcacli the lop of tho mode, they carried matters a liltlo too far tho dress not coming below tho knees at all. ■ (Washing the Gutters with Liquor.—Tho Dan. gor (Maine) Whiff slates that (ho City Marshal, on Friday last, by order of tlio Police Court, rolled out from tho basement of tlio City Hall, ten casks of liquor, seized under tho now liquor law, and do« strayed tho liquor by turning U into tlio gutter.—. Tho ompty casks were then safely returned to their owners.

THE JUDUESIUI', In another column will bo found a very able arli' clebn the subject of our next President Judge, taken ; from ■ llio Perry County .X)emocrdt t to which wo would call llio attention of.our Demooratld: readers. The attempt now malting by the WhtgsCt£run Mr. Watts as an independent oamUdalc.for Judge, is a a mere political trick. Democrats cannot bo de ceived into iho. support of d poliUcttl oppo nent, by- any alratagom whatever, notwithstanding the efforts of the two or three Arnolds in this county I and in Perry, who profess democracy, butrvbonro j Federalists in disguise. The true democracy of j Cumberland, Perry, and Juniata understand these po- jUtica! traders, and laugh to scorn their,puny at j tempts to disorganize. For Judge Watts, ns wo j said on aTormbr occasion, wo have Uib highest re spect— lib Is a good citizen, and a good man; but yet we have Democratic lawyers in this district who are in every respect his equals. Why then, should any 'Democrat support Judge Watts, who, it is no torious, is the. heod man of (ho Federal party in thie county ? If ho desires to run without a nomi nation, ho can do so/bul this circumstance should not.deceive any Democrat. . Should he happen to bo elected, hie election would bo heralded (brib es a Whig triumph, and it would bo a Whig triumph. glad, therefore, to know that the Democrats of this" Judicial district understand the motives of the three or four professed Democrats who, had they the power, would.elevate a Whig to tho Judge “ship. This attempt at disorganization has also at> traded the attention of Democratic papers in neigh; boring counties. Below we give the views of'the Lancaster Intelligencer, a. paper edited by our for mcr townsman, Capt. Sanderson, and'lho 'Valley Spirit, a most able ’Democratic journal printed at Cbambersburg, and edited by our friend Conran: . The Carlisle Herald (Whig) is very anxious that' 'lito Judgeship should not bo mudo a party question in the Cumberland district Oh dear I Wonder how it would bo with that very moderate party print if tho district-had a Whig majority 7 Guess the “ bool would then be bn the other leg,” •It’s co-go, Mr.-Beatty. The motive is 100 irons* parent to deceive tho sterling Democracy of that district, -Judge Watts is an out and out Whig,and, although, a very clever man, if he runs at all, must run as tho Whig candidate—and make up his mind to be beaten by onr excellent and talented friend and true-hearted fellow Democrat, JauEs 11.

James 11. Graham, Esq., one of the most. promi nent members of the Carlisle Bar, is vefy 1 generally spoken of ds a fit person to-receive the Democratic nomination for President Judge of tho Cumberland, Perry and.Juniata District, lie is ah experienced Lawyer and a well tried Democrat, and richly de serves 'the compliment Of a nomination and an election. Juniata county has already instructed fur him, and we. have no doubt that Cumberland and Perry will givo him a support ho will have reason to be proud of, notwithstanding one or. two Arnolds in our ranks aro*cndearoring to whoedlo Democrats into the support of the lion. Frederick Walls,— There wore good Judges before Mr. Walls 1 birth, and there will bo good Judges after his burial; and wo hope that no Democrat will bo so foolish as to bo misled by tho efforts the Whigs arc making to create tho impression that ho is the only man in the District who is qualified to preside over its Courts. Jimmy Graham wit! do just os well. There will bo as much ,legal knowledge on the bench when ho gals there as there is now, though there may not bo as much aristocracy.—Valley Spirit. „ ’ Johnson on tho Par^tfa(og < Poirct< The Easton Argus in V.long and able editorial bpon this subject,'gives a few instances in,which Gov. Johnson has exorcised tho pird ohing power in that county. If Johnson has nut pardoned, which wo very much question, as many convicts as some Of tho Executives that have preceded'him, all-must ad* mil that his subjects have been fur offences, of UiQ very worst clftraotcr..

Smith convicted of perjury in falsely and malicloHsly charging tiro orime of adultery) upon one of tho must respectable citizens, together with several others who were*convicted of larceny, and the like offences. What motive can demand nuch an exorcise of Executive Power 7 Can it be possible that money has been employed for these purposes, or ; is it to secure voles. .Surely justice does not require this, but bleeds under the operation* In our opinion, tho only excuse that can be given, is, that tho Guv* • ernor Is so lender hearted Ural lib cannot.bear that these poor fellows should to compelled to suffer out their time as hired by law. This is the construction given. to-tho Constitution, by one sworn to auppoil it and who deftpiseft the Veld power. There are two . veto powers in the Constitution, the orto prevents acts passed by the Legislature from becoming (ho law, - tho other prevents the execution of the law by inter* posing a pardon. Wo lolvo tho people to judgtr . which is tho worst of the two. Present to Mas'. Calhoun.— Mrs. Callidun. wid ow of the late John.C. Calhoun, bus received and accepted a present of a check for 830,DU0, which sum a number of tho friends af her deceased hus band hud collected at the time of his death, and which they had intended to increase to $BO,OOO, had ho lived, to enable him to visit; Europe, for tho bene fit of his health. Before' his death, however, ha re fused to' accept tho generous offer, as also subse quently did his four sons, to whom it was tendered for the benefit of his estate, which alono irvalued at '8150,000, while his debts amounted to. duly s2s,ooo.— Exchange Paper . 1 Very liberal and patriotic, lliat.

In. the Carlisle Democrat of the lOili inst., wo notice a correspondence between .lolin Hitter and JohrrArnoldof'tills county, and the Upn. Fkbd eiuck Watts, of a rather singular oharacter,ih regard to the latter being a candidate for President Judge of this Judicial District. The loiter ad* dressed to Judge Watts, we doubt not, was gol up under the influence of certain ’ indlvidtjals of our through,a desire'to distract and'weaken bur party in the coming ‘contest, or an unfiiehdly feeling towards the gentleman who may probably be our candidate for thosame office. Be their intentions, however, what they may, wo shall not notice them further at-this time.. Our present object is to take exceptions to a certain passage in tho reply of Judge Walts,‘which evin ces a desire-to place himself on What he evidently supposes a loftier position than is occupied by any other candidate in the State. He says: # “The high regard I entertain Tdr Iho adminis tration of justice, forbids that I should, placo.my self in the altitude of a parly candidate; and you judge mo' rightly, therefore, when 'you suppose' that / would decline such a posilloij,” , This, we perceive by our exchanges, expresses, the opinion and dediro of the Whig party, arid ■ every Whig candidate in all the Democratic die /m/s through the Slate; Cut it is somewhat sin gular that the -sentiment is not endorsed by any Whig district. In Allegheny, and the district composed of the counties of Franklin, Bedford, &cV, (bothof which give strong Whig majorities,) ftie parly to which Judge .Walts belongs has al ready nominated candidates, and are rallying their, parly forces to combat; for that position which here it appeals u a Kigh regard for the administra tion of justice” forbids iheir doing. These facts cause this great expression of regard to be some what suspected. Its insinuation against the gen tleman who may be.the candidate of the Demo cratic party, is also as evident as it is unkind. If Judge Watts bad merely said that bo declined the position of a party candidate, wo should have found ho.fault with his expression; and he might safely have left his friends to suppose that his motives were pure. But to attempt to force the community to believe that “a high regard for justice -woujd not permit any man as honorable, as himself, to Occupy the position of a parly can didate,is givitig (whether intended or not) a con cealed thrust at him who may be his opponent,! that would have come with a much belter grace from another pen. We do noVlhiriVlhnt ihc can didate of tho DcmccraTic party,, should ho be elected, Will for a 'inoment bo suspected of carry ing ariy party bias with him"on the'bcnch* merely because he was supported by the parly. -He will bo at least no more likely to carry 'those with him, than one who occupies. nominally the position of an independent candidate, but with the knowledge and expectation that his intin sup port, at least, must come from the Whig party, of which he is a leading and active member. We. think It will bo hard to find greater danger from the one source than from the other, however “hioh” the “regard” may bo, “for the'administration of justice,” Why did not Judge Watts think of this objection whcn.lio received Hie nomination for the seat ho how, occupies as a member of the Whig parly, from-a Whig Governor! Coujd a Democrat have , received that nomination 5 ! Was he not emphatically the candidate of the Whig party, presented for the confirmation of.tho Scm ale 1 And has any one suspected that Judge Watts ascended the bench with party feelings on that account! Certainly hot ! It Would be an insult io his integrity to suppose so fora moment. Then Judge Walls should have had charity enough for an honorable opponent to suppose that be could, if elected; take the judicial seal pure and unsuspected, although he may havo born the can didate of a party. Could Judge Waits have ad ded to the end of his letter, . '* That mercy 1 1;> oilier* show, • That mercy show to ii»V - with the hope of his prayer being answered, and at the same time of being elected; or, <vas the intention Ho leave dut the latler'dlausn. The sentence alluded to, also makes a sweep* ing insinuation against the tickets of both Demo*, oratio and Whig parties for (he Supremo Court. Tha great Jurists (hat are nominated on each of those tickets can liaVertfdbording to tho position he assumes, very- little regard for the adminislra lion of'.juslico. If this is the fact, and tho senti ment oxpreasciUs endorsed by the Whigs of this district, wo shall expect to see Mem, at leasl, for the preservation.of their consistency and integrity, repudiate all political connection with thoDanoae* ter nominees for (he Supreme Court, and Judge Baker, Mr. Boally and Col. M'Chira will o( course take thoir names from their party tnasls as candidatea of tho Whig party * The daggerstrikes too deep! Let us see, however, if Vhn Whig pa pers do not applaud, the'high position Judge Watts has assumed through a high regard for the administration of justice; and at tho same lime plead for iWir party candidates for (ho Supreme Bench on party grounds,, and because (hey are party men. TUB ORIGINAL OALPIIIIr* ' From lliu Ilojikhmlllo, (Kentucky JjlHcvi. . Gborob Galphin.— -Tire IVhig quibbles about our statement that a revolutionary soldier of this county know Galphin, and know him to boa lory. Does the \Vhiy deny our statement t If he does, wo will prove it. Probably that will satisfy him. The old soldier to whom wo referred is a man of tho strictest voracity; and is known so to be by tho whole county. No quo will dispute hia word,'or any statement lie makes. In politics lie is a Whig. He heard Thompson's} speech here about Galphin having been a revolutionary hero,and having fought with Marion and Sumpter, and ho says llicreis not a word of truth iri it. George Galphin married the sister, of this old soldier's father, and ho therefore had an opportuni ty to know him. Ho says ho know, them all, and they, were tho rankest and bloodiest lories in Geor gia., They spared neither life nor property, sex nor age. They headed a band of scoundrels, who murdered and plundered with tho barbarity and ruthiessness of savagos. As a momber of a band of American patriots, our old soldier says ho has often sought for tho Gdlplilns; and ho declares thatalthoughcamiocted with Galphin^by.the ilea of blood, yet ho would have killed him as soon and as willingly as ho would have killed a mad dog. George Galphin had abandoned his wife, by whom no had two sons, and had taken up with a negress, by whom also ho had two sons, and aban doning her ho took up with an Indian squaw, who bore with him two sons. Ho lived with tho In dians, traded with ihe’mand cheated them out of a i large fortune. Whfth tho revolution broke out he i joined tho British, and with his six sons, and . his , Indian allies, and tho various cut throats and , scoundrels whom ho gathered about him, ho was (ho scourge and (error of tho whole country around him* * This Wnfl (he kind of man Whom Mr. Thompson now holds up ns a revolutionary hero, and whom ho classes with Marion and Sumpter, os (ho model of an American patriot. His heirs are tho men to whom GeneralTaylor'a cabinet gavo sloo,oooout of tho public treasury for his losses and sacrifices in (ho oauso of American liberty 1 And Uis this act of public plunder which Mr. Thompson is now defending all over tho State! Wo leave it to the pooplo to say whether Mr. Thompson is a fit person to place at (ho head of our State Govern ment. - pATiuoTto Movbmb.ni'—\Vo learn that it is in contemplation to oiler to each of the 13 origi nal Stales, a place in Independence Square, Pbll. adolphla, whore they may rear befitting Monu ments to the Signors of the Declaration of Inde pendence.

Wo will not say at the sacrifice of honor. Wo will not say at the debasing sacrifice *»f soliciting abolition, voles—but certainly at the sacrifice of giving countenance and support la litis miserable faction, by joining with them in the cry of 'agitation. 1 Do wo not thus recognise their con sequence as a political body? Do ,wb nut thus sanction the means by which they hope lo accom plish their ends? Do we not thus permit them to occupy our tytatform' and to mingle amongst us 7 ; Of course if wo are thus intimately thrown to. Igclher—if wo/raterriizs wiih ilttm, wo must treat them politely—listen respectfully, and nod ah occa sional assent, to what they say. And dll this would have to be endured by us without the satisfaction of telling them what wo really think'of them, arid how utterly we.despise thttm. ■ • Now as a Whig—as an original, ingrain Whig, wo must submit our individual protcßt'agajnst on association so utterly and hopelessly degrading.— We will NEVJ3R consent to bo found in political association with men whom, in our heart,we believe to'bo'tru itors'to'their country. • Although then, wp cannot stand Upon Mr. John- 'platform* and on this account must object to him as our candidate fur Governor, wo have no lies. Nation in saying, that we shall veto with tho utmost cheerfulness for Mr. Slrohm arid some of tho oandU dates for tho ; Bqpretno‘Co’uft. Mr. Slrohm Is Well known as a gentleman of’superior, intelligence ami exulted bharuClor, ■whilst thu condldales for tho judgeships ore perhops the'Very bdsl tliat could have been selected. Wo do not know'Unit tiny of these gentlemen are agitators n'rid oio uhWilliri'g 16 suppose that they uro. If wo believed them such, wo would not vole for them. Wo would hot vote for Henry Cluy himself, if for such reasons ds are assigned, it were possible-for him to defliro cbntiriUcd ofcllktldn •of the-slavery question. . As to what the Convention has said about‘Gen. bcott.’wc caro but very little about it. Of one thing wo ore satisfied, and that is that the • rccommenda- Uon* has entirely extinguiihed his prospects for the next presidency. We hope yet to sdo Clay,'Webster or Fllimoro elected, In 6ur ‘immediate nolgborhood Mr. Webster would bo decidedly preferred to any other man. The Whigs ore almost if not q'uilo, Unanimously fur him. They desire by voting for him to testify their gratitude for his services in be half of’the Constitution and the ‘Unldn. Wo Vci'ily believe that tho choice of Mr. Webster ns o*ur next president, would tell more to tho credit of the Amor lent people, than anything (hat has been done rimfo tho election of Washington.* 1 GENERAL LAWS.
