Cam. BIGLER v». JOHNSTON. This is tho issue that is now madoup and ponding before the people, and to bo finally on the second Tuesday of next October. On the one aide we have, devotion.'to the' constitution of oiir Common country, au adherence to the compromise as settled.by the last Congress, and .correct* vleWa ! upi ion the •financial policy of the State. Upon the other we have treasonable intimations of opposition to ah important. provision of (ho consiUulion.'of the United States and the legislation based upon that provision, absurd notions of banicing and tho cur ronoy, resulting in free banka and relief notes, should tho present incumbent be re-elected to the office bo now holds. A proper regard to the relations we sustain to other portions of oar confederacy, should make it a matter of serious consideration, whether wo should give countenance and support to. the abolitionists of the North, by sustaining and elevating those at home who sympathise with them in many of their heretical doctrines. . Lot us stand upon; the broad platform of the constitution, and not prove recreant to the teaohinga oflhe patriots oftho Revolution. Besides, Governor Johnston's detnagogueism on tho subjects of lb* tariff, stale debt, sinking fund, and other hobbies Which ho rides for tho time being, should place him - in tho proper position, before tho people, to be weighed in the balanoo by them and found wanting. Whatever may bo popular in any one section of the State, (hat you may find Johnston supporting, and thu place you will find him advoca ting it, is in the region immediately affected by it. i Hence in the North ho is the adherent of the North I Branch Canal, in the county of Mercer you.find' him a violent opponent of the fugitive , slave law, and endorsing whatever'tho abolition member of Congress, Mr. Howe, ;raay say on that subject— while in Philadelphia he has great regard for the Union and the stability thereof. In contrast with such hypocrisy and double deal, ing, wo are proud to point to tho conduct apd;the sentiments expressed by ear noble standfcrd/bcarcr in this canvass, Col.' Bigler. .He is Hie* srfmo’in ell places and sections of the State, to alf nten. Aboul him there is no equivocation or shadow of turning* All ie straightforward, plain sailing. He scorns'to, flatter the free sailors of Bradford at tho expense of truth and principle. At every place ho openly and candidly explains his. views of national and slate policy. He goes for tho Constitution atid the compromise with all tho ardor of a truthful na ture. Ho is in favor of a revenue tariff and econo* my and frugality in the administration of the gov ernment. Hs (also exposes, in a masterly manner, the claims sot up by Governor Johnston to paying off.a half-a million of tho State debt, when it can be satisfactorily shown that less of tho debt has been paid during his administration for tho same } length oT lime, than was paid by Governor Shunk's administration* In fine wo have every tiling to oxpeot and nothing to fear in the coming contest. With union and har-| mony, an. adherence to principles, and a disregard of personal grievances, we may expect such a tri umph as has boon seldom achieved in Pennsylvania. The days of Jackson will be back upon us. Tho spirit of .'76 will burn again in tho hearts of the children of revolutionary sires, and the, allegiance of the State and her people will bo again renewed at tho alter of their common country. u Bigler and tho Constitution,'* is seen floating oh many a. flag, and it augers well for the stability sod prosperity of our blessed Union. “THE ONE TERM PRINOIPIiBvW Three years ago Gov, Johnston toadea epcoch In this town, v In that Speech he declared himself, in favor of what he called the “one term principle,** and opposed to the election of any man as Gover nor for more than one term. He proclaimed his opposition (o the veto, o r •'one roan power/’ and look iho ground lhatno bill that received a majority of the votes of the people's representatives, should be vetoed by tho ■Governor. He declared himself opposed to the pardoning 1 power, and abused Governors Shunk and Porter because they had exercised this power. He said ho was opposed to proscription for opin ion's sake, and pledgedhim'self, in case ho should be elected Governor, to “proscribe proscription.” Ho abused President Pulk because he recogniz ed a paper at the seat of government as his official “organ. The Governor contended that no public servant should have a paper in his exclusive inte rest. “Tho acts of a public servant,” remarked the Governor, “should be criticised by unfettered presses.” He aaid too, (as all Federal slangwhangers say when begging for voles,) that he was in favor of “an economical administration of the govern* ment,” &o. Now, let us see how Gov. Johnston has carried out the principles he professed and the doctrines he promulgated. First, in regard to the “one term principle.”— The very fact that he is again before the people, asking for a re-election, is proof that he has repu diated the doctrine he preached. Secondly, ho opposed tho “ veto power,” and yot it is a notorious fact (hat ho has exorcised this power without regard to,justice or right. Thirdly, ho said ho was opposed to tho pardon* Ing power, and in lhe face of this profession he has let loose upon society scores of the most dcs* Iperato scoundrels that over disgraced our Peniton* iltUry. Fourthly, he professed to bo opposed to prosorib. ing men' because of their political opinions, hut yet no sooner was be in power than every Demo crat in olTico was immediately removed. Fifthly, he abused President Polk because ho had a paper in his interest thst was called his "or gan.” Now the Governor himself has an organ at Harrisburg—a paper edited, by his own brother, and a most abusive lying sheet at that. Sixth, the Governor professed to bo a great eco nomist, and pledged himself that, in the event of his election, he would practice the strictest econo my, And yet by reference to the records we find that the expenses of the Slate Government, in two years of Johnston’s administration, have been $83,269 45 greater limn in Iho same length of time trader Gov. Shunk I The people should also re member that the amount of taxes assessed upon the farmers and mechanics of Pennsylvania, for two years under Johnston’s administration, is $342,698 greater than in the same period under Gov. Shunk. Nor should the people forget that Gov. Johnston, during the last session of tlio Legislature, used ail the influence and power he possessed to add ON K MILLION OP DOLLARS TO OUR STATE DEBT, by borrowing that amount from the banks. It was well for the people that the Legislature was Democratic, or certain it is Gov. Johnston and his friends would have carried their darting measure. Freemen of C umborland county, what confidence can you place in a man who has so lilllo regard for Ida word! Wo say to the people, Gov. Johnston is hot to bo trusted, He is a deceiver, arid has deceived you.

There lias never within ouhrocollootionbocn bo many criminal prosecutions brought before our Court as during the list week. There were ftfty.fivo in dictments presented to the Grand Jury.. Many were ignored, but over thirty true bills were found.. They embraced almost ’dvery grade'in-the .calender of crime. Riot, arson, rapo, fornication arid,bastardy, passing counterfeit money, assault end battery,'&o., were the topics of the week., To give $ regular report ortho trials as they occurred would occupy too space in cur columns, besideswo have no strong desire to add another pang to the already wounded hearts of parents and friends by publishing the crimes of which their children and relatives havo beon found guilty, and for which many of them will be incarcerated within tho walls of tho Peni tentiary. It may be considered by many onimper alive duty we owe to society to give publicity to the fadts. In order to suppress crime, Wore wo'satisfied that its publication would have such a hoppy-ton dency, wo would do an irreparable, injury by. with, holding it from tho public; But we have no reasons to justify us in making; tho press, ain engine ofop pression by reiterating to afflicted parents and friends what they already know to their mow. Wo would not bo understood that in tho punishment of the guilty wo make any distinction—not at all. Let all, bo they in good standing or. not,-If found guilty of a honious crime o( disturbing the public peace, bo I treated,alike. But w.ould*it be rlgwHo opea out a battery of censure when they have already been I tried and sentenced by the'Court 7' Wo think hot. (Suffice it to soy,tho guilty have suffered, and sod the extent to. which their crimes have led them; and let ue. draw the. veil of oblivion over, these scenes and lend an cor to Chose who, by to lalionship, are connected to.ilio offenders, and are mentally afflicted in consequence of the waywardness of llioir friends. That crime Is increasing in our midst is general- ly admitted. Us rapid growth is enough to startle the reflecting man and.cause thepbilanthrophist to ptfiiso and enquire from whence comcljuso much depravity, and whore will'll omtr’ rfir will either bo more energetic in his mission, of cetsealtogother, wiion he sees arraigned at the bar of his country tho aged man and tho youth, for some high offence .which Would appear too degrading, for the one and 100 deep a scheme for the other, appafSnlly linked in combination for the purpose, of rupturing and de- elroying tho morols of society, and rendering it a circle for the association of fiends .and -villains.— Such, by the evidences Wo have, appear to be the design of many of the present day; Wo cannot but feel sorry when wo' behold the youth verging on manhood, boiling with rage at the slightest encroach ment.of what ho deems his privilege; glutted with revenge, defaces the .dwellings of our. qllizens, or destroys public properly, and even - saizts the fire* brand, and causes, by his unrelenjUg- passion, tho destruction of properly, and 'reduces to want tho , helpless and innocent. Certainly crime is on the 1 increase, or oar couits take cognisance of acts . which hctelofort wore not considered crimes. TUB JUDICIARY. Wo' cannot repress a when We glance over our different exchanges, to see (he various positions occupied by the Federal party, on the of tho election of Judges. Now we will state U os a re* markable coincidence, (wo have no doubt a mere matter of.accidonl,) that in sll\hose districts where thoy.have the majority, they deem the nomination of. Judges d highly prudent arid proper slip, as it is tho most suitable way to select (be Judges and em body sentiment, so as to prevent ifio rascally j electing their own. monjwhcn they have no right to .have Judges or any .thing else* to* Justice honestly administrated by somu good Whig. Bui lii thoee portions pf tho Fed* erallsts are in's minority, they dcprooslb abovefall things a political Judge, and ibipk il wquld soilftho judicial ermine WnjHatnl the administration of jus. tico,by electing atiy fnan to that high office by s parly‘vote. Hence they are opposed and nail to aU nomination»£qr Ujo judiciary. Tbia may be all right, but il !s passing strsngo that ()id Federal* isle have discovered this . important truth, as they • deem it, in no district or county where they have the majority. Our readers can draw their own in forenecs. • Keep It before (be People* Thai Gov. Johnston tried to dofoa£ tho-TEN HOUR LAW, and was mainly instrumental in pro* curing the passage of the rnoviso which compels children to work more than ten nouai, If done by contract with.their parents or guardianf. Keep U before the People* That Johnston, In his message to the,Legislature in 1849, recommended INCREASED TAXATION. Keep It before (bo People* That, llio expenses of the State GoTcrrimont, in two years of Johnston's administration, have been 983,250 45 greater limn in tho same length oftime under Got. Sliunk. Keep 11 before (ho People; That the amount of (axes assessed upon tho far* mors and mechanics of Pennsylvania, for two years under Gov. Johnston’s administration, 155342,598 47 greater than in tho samo period under Shunk. Governor Johnston's Economy* Gov. Johnston and his friends aro constantly slrl. ving to impress tho people with tho belief that his administration has boon a peculiar economical one, says the Pittsburg Post. Lot us see what claims ho has to the character of on economical public sorvtn Tho expenses of the Slate Government under Gov, StiUNK were In 1816, $316;C32 22, and in 1817 [5200,113 37 }—making for'tho two years the sum ofj I $416,745 50 while the Slate expenditures under! \Gov.

Had ho I dono 80, ho would havo. furnished something worth I reading.! From all that oan bo loarn.cd, our friends,, IhoFoderalists, must have had considerable “nolso [and confusion ” during tho few hours they were locked up In Education Hall. 0a tho subject of | nominating Judges, tho scene must Have been deci dedly rich and .interesting. It appears tho pole gales from the, country, generally speaking, wore in 1 favor of nominating Judges. The Carlisle clique, however, determined to manage' things their own way, and resolved that no candidates should be nom inated for Judges'. Tho rival factions root in Con vonlion,’when a very interesting debate look place on the subject. A Delegate from ono of the town ships raised his voice to such a pilch as lo bo hoard for a square or more.' “ Aro you again going to sell | Iho VVhig party of this oounty ,lo the locofocos?" asked this Federal orator. “Must tho Delegates! from (ho country again be dictated to by Iwo or three would-be leaders in Carlisle? Must wo yield oUr principles, our honor, our opinions, and even sub mit to be sold to the locofocos, merely because two or throe men in Carlisle say so? 'Never! never!" The speaker was going on at this furious rate, when ho was suddenly called to “order” by a Delegate who “spoke as if by authority.". A War of.words fob l lowed,in. which a dozen or moro were engaged at tho same time. - Ever and anon, however, eomc one of the speakers would raise his voice lo tho highest key, and such, disconnected sentences ’ and words os “falsehood," " town clique," “tools of Bill‘John, ston," “ Cooper disorganlzcrs," ‘‘ wo oan’t. bo sold to tho loco-focos," “go to the d—l," “the wliolo ticket , shall bo dofuated," &o. &c, wore distinctly hoard outside tho building. Tho scene must indeed have boon quite funny. . . At length a vote was taken whether or hot candj. dates for Judgos 'should, be placed on IhC ticket, During tho voting all was silent as the grave, but it was a quiet proceeding a storm. In - a few minutes it was annplmccd that “the motipo.ifo nominate Judges was defeated by one majority*!I*' 1 *' Another 'scene of confusion followed. Wo are.sold,"“ we aro sold," exclaimed several delegates, as they rushed down stairs into the street. A hearty iangh from the victorious party was tho only reply. Such, Mr. Ed itor, was the scone In (ho Fedora) convention on (ho subject of nominating Judges. I heard many other good things, which I will note down for tho edifice, of your readers hcreofler.
