The whig ticket nominated on Monday l ist, will commend itself to the support of e very whig in Milllin county, composed as if is of an array of men of unque.f tioned character and ability, against whom not a word of detraction can be truly ut tered. ANDREW MCFARLAND, the nominee for Assembly, is well known throughout the valley as an industrious farmer, well ac quainted with political theories and famil iar with all that relates to the wants and interests of Midi in county. That he would make an attentive and impartial re presentative in the Legislature, " UNA WED BY INFLUENCE AND UN BRIBED BY GAIN," no one who knows the man can for a mo ment doubt. The estimation in which he is held, and his sterling integrity and fitness for the office, will secure him a vote that will tell the intriguers in the late loco foco convention that there is a point" when forbearance ceases to be a virtue." JOHN BALSBACH, our candidate for Pro thonotary, is a resident of Newton Hamil ton. where he enjoys the respect and good will of all classes. He is well qualified for the post, and having lately taken to himself a lady fair for a companion, lias shown himself a much better citizen than his opponent, who still remains a perverse bachelor, insensible to the charms of 4 Heaven's first best gift to man.' It would serve the locofoco candidate right if all the wives and daughters in Milllin were to electioneer against him. For County Surveyor, the convention .-elected WILLIAM LYTTLE, of Lewi.stown, for several years a teacher in the public schools of this place—a situation he has filled in a manner satisfactory to the Board of Directors, to parents, and, what is not often the case, the children. He has a good knowledge of surveying, both prac- K I and theoretical, and as he would with out doubt zealously labor wherever re luired, we commend him to the support of all who wish to reward merit. We do not think his opponent, Mr. Weekes, cares much about the matter, barring being beat, and as he would soon get over that, there will not be much lost should the voters of Milllin decide with us that Mr. Lyttle ought to be the man. Col. WILLIAM CUMMINS, the nominee for Commissioner, is a gentleman cxten ively known, having some years ago ably represented this county in the Legislature. His qualifications are undoubted, and be ing himself a h< avv taxpayer, his election will i nsuie a faithful member of the Board ol Commissioners. JOHN \V SHAW, KSJ., was unauiinous lv nominate <1 foj the post of Prosecuting Attorney. He is a quiet and unobtrusive young ma::, wall read in law, who would no doubt do pastit e to all concerned. Ai ei RES ,\j. I SOKAM IS aw< 11 educated iaiiini oi Decatur, who would certainly inaki a competent Auditor and a reliable adiicei J A -it M. BROWN will unquestionably ' relumed 1: Oil the \ ..Jlev a Dlii ctOi of [ thr Poor, a post he is fully qualified to fill. From Decatur anil the river district no belter man could be named than AUGUS j TINE WAKEFIELD. luLewistown, GEORGE \V. STEWART, the present efficient Over | seer, is the candidate, and as the locofocos | intend to make this district the point of i contention, the shafts of malevolence will !of course be let loose upon him. Mr. ' Stewart is a whig, and was last year elect | ed as such, though the Democrat would now wish to make it appear that he is a native. There is no such organization here, and of those who formerly adhered to Nativeism, it is well known that a ma jority are locofocos. Lotofoco Resolutions. Conscious that their proceedings needed some extra propping, the Convention which nominated, and the meeting that rat ified the ticket of Koss, Dull 6c Co., passed strong resolutions in favor of supporting regular nominations. The idea is cer tainly a very good one, and to men fairly dealt with, it would perhaps have some weight; but the important question arises whether those nominations were made fairly and honestly ? Mr. Gibboney, we are informed, was for years solicited by inlluential locofocos to suffer his name to be used as a candidate for the Legislature, but until last year declined. He was then nominated, elected, and served the party with as much zeal as the most ultra could have desired. Such being the case, was he not entitled to a re-nomination, especi ally as the principle was settled by the re election of Hugh M'Kec, Esq., that a representative should have two terms, unless satisfactory cause could be shown for a contrary course ? Had Mr. Gibboney been fairly dealt with by the wire-workers, no opposition of moment, and least of all a secret one, would have been made. As is frequently the case, votes might have been given to certain persons with a view of bringing them forward as candidates at a future day, and possibly it was in such a light that Mr. G's friends viewed the apparent ly trifling efforts made in favor of John Ross, for with the exception of those cog nizant of the schemes concocted behind the curtain, not one in a hundred seemed to entertain a doubt of Mr. Gibboney's re noinination. Why he was not re-nomi nated has not yet been explained, and we presume will not be ! Having succeeded in their efforts to get rid of the one who was entitled to their support, the attention of the leaders is of course next turned to the ways and means of electing the nominee, and the first step is to get up a cry to stick to the party ! Hence the passage of the resolutions re ferred to above, which* bear so strong an affinity to each other that there can he no doubt of their emanating from the same pen, and hence also the Democrat's con stant recurrence to the same subject.— Stick to the party —that's the cry now ; stick to it, right or wrong. Though cen sured and insulted, though scorned and de rided, perhaps laughed at for credulously trusting to professions and promises never intended to be fulfilled, the first salvo of fered is to stick to the party by sustaining regular nominations, 110 matter how irreg ulurly made ! It now remains to be seen whether the " democracy" of Milllin county will con tinue to submit to the dictation which has so often heretofore led them into absurd in consistencies on the subjects of the tariff, on banks, one term principles, &e., and at times to support men who were by no means their choice or worthy of their suf frages—all too effected by the cry that is again raised of sticking to the party. They have seen that no regard is paid to usages at times strongly advocated as ne cessary, but that if certain ends arc to he reached, they are regardless as to the means used to effect them. These arc truths—not very palatable, perhaps, but truths nevertheless—and we can only add that if, under such circumstances, the rank and file ratify the doings of their leaders, they will show themselves worthy of be coming pack-horses to the new firm of Ross, Dull & Co. for all time to come. * : J The V alley Spirit thinks if Mr. Hanks adopted our advice to prosecute the locofoco editors for libel, it would be on the principle that the greater the truth the greater the libel. Mot at all. Were we to affirm the reverse of that uttered by a few of the locofoco journals, the principle might be applied to us, but to fawning, sycophantic soft-soaping never. ' Some portions of the whig ticket, the lfeinocrat alleges, is not qualified, and then roundly asserts that every one of its candidates is ! Perhaps our neighbor can satisfy some locofocos who are curious in such matters by informing them what superior merit, either private or political, Thomas Stroup has tor Commissioner over thus* who were thrust a idc lot him ' '1? The Pennsylvania!!, formerly a text book of loeofocoism, as was evidenced from the fact that one-half of all the politi cal matter contained in the country papers was but a reprint of its columns, is now receiving kicks from all quarters. The Democrat, after copying some editorial correspondence, appends the following dig at the ribs of the " talented Forney" and Pennsylvania's favorite son : " All of which is no doubt meant to say, that if Mr. Buchanan is not nominated, Messrs. For ney & Co. will play Van llurcn on the democracy of Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania!) is grow ing altogether too dictatorial. We have been through the State somo, and wc are perfectly satisfied that the old veteran of Michigan is the choice of the mass of the people, who tee I that he was defrauded out of an election in 1846, and whose confidence in his integrity and patri otism remains unchanged. The democracy ol Pennsylvania can settle these matters for them selves, without the aid of any of Mr. Buchanan's adjutants to prescribe the way." This promises to turn out a most inter esting melee, in which we whigs can take the position held by the old gentleman when his wife and a bear had a regular rough and tumble light—he didn't care which whipped ; but still we cannot but consider it a shame that, after having flat tered Buchanan for years with hopes of the Presidency, they should now turn round and kick him into the grave of oblivion without even a decent interment. UT The editor of the Juniata Register, who knows a great deal more about Mr. Hanks than anybody else, though almost a stranger to that gentleman, says the lu eofoco ticket " will most undoubtedly be elected by an increased majority" in this county !! ! The same knowing editor, in his last paper, calls Henry W. Snyder, the whig candidate for Auditor General, an " old granny." Were he a lawyer, like Mr. Banks, we suppose his opinion of Mr. Snyder's merits would rise in propor tion, hut as the latter is only a well-edu cated farmer, and the son of old Simon Snyder, lie's an " old granny." L&' We are requested to say that the Democrat's statement of the vote on in structions to the Congressional Conferees is incorrect. The vote on the tall)-list stood 10 to G, and two of the latter were ix>t opponents of Gen. Irwin, but voted against instructing the Conferees because opposed to such a course. The ticket nominated by the loco locos is designated up the river as " Ross, DI LL 6i Co." Thereby hangs a talc ! lIr.NTiKGDON Corvi v .—The Whigs of Huntingdon county met in county conven tion on Wednesday of last week and placed in nomination die following county ticket: Assembly—Wm. li.

With the exception of spine wet days, it passed off agreeably, and so far as we can learn without any disturbance. Four hundred tents were up on the Shrewsbury camp ground, York county, on Sunday last, and an immense number of persons in attendance. PROTESTING IN THE SENATE.— During the debate in the Senate on receiving the Southern Protest, afactof some importance was stated on the authority of a letter from .Mr. Madison, viz : that a proposition was made in the federal convention to give the Senate the power of a protest, and it was rejected. SUFIIIAOE IN MICHIGAN. —The Michi gan State Convention, now in session at hansing, deliberating on the reconstruction of the Constitution of the State, have adopted a clause extending the elective franchise to Indians and their descendants, and have also adopted a resolution submit ting to the people, as a separate proposi tion, the question of extending the same right to the African race. Wlllti COI'XTV fOVVEVTIOV. In pursuance of a resolution adopted by the Whigs of Mitllin county on the Gth instant, the delegates elected on Saturday last assembled at the Town Hall in Lcwistown on Monday, the 19th inst., for the purpose of forming a county ticket to be suppoited at the ensuing election.

STEWART, 1 year. 1 he subjoined resolutions were then offered, read and adopted: Resolved, That while this convention deplores the unlocked for event which deprived a nation of the brave and accomplished warrior who, in connection with the gallant soldiers under his command, upheld our flag against fearful odds on the plains of Mexico, and of a President whose only aim was the good of his country— yet, as Whigs, we can rejoice that the mantle has fallen upon a statesman as eminent as MIL SARD t H.LMORE. Ol undoubted patriotism, of unquestioned purity of purpose, and irreproach able in prhatc and public life, we can confide in his administration as embodying all that a Whig can ask or wish for. Resolved, That the administration of Governor JOHNSTON meets with a hearty response at the hands ot the people. He has done much to re trieve the fair fame of the Executive chair from the stigmas attached to A by the misdeeds of rulers elected by locofoco votes—has made a good beginning in reducing the State debt, and had all the measures recommended by liim been adopted by the Legislature, a fair prospect would have opened for the gradual extinguishment of the State liabilities. Resolved, That while lee have no words of j abuse to utter against Kphraim Banks or his as : soeiates on the locofoco State ticket, the lan | guage of their own party papers is sufficient to j condemn one f them as untit for the office for which he was nominated, and as men are gener atlj judged by the company they we think I our candidates, Dungan, Snyder, and Henderson, are vastly preferable to Morison, Banks, and I Brawley. Resolved , That SAMUEL CALVIN, our present representative in Congress, has proved himself an able advocate of our interests—an attentive member—and a true Whig; and that we deeply regret his determination to decline a re-nomina tion. Resolved, That we pledge ourselves to give a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether, to the ticket this day nominated without bargain, intrigue or under specious pleas, but by delegates elected without pledges of any kind, who, after due deliberation, have chosen men a&candidatea whose lives and conduct commend them to tho favorable consideration of the people. Resolved, That L. T. Wattson, John Kerr, and J. I . C'ottrcll, Esqrs., be and are hereby ap pointed conferees to represent Milllin county in the Congressional Conferee Meeting to be held at M'Veytown on Tuesday, 2th instant, (should that day be concurred in by Blair, Centre, and Huntingdon counties,) or such day as may be mutually agreed upon—with instructions to sup port the nomination of Gen. WILLIAM H IRWIN. SAMUEL HAMAN, of M'Veytown, was named as Senatorial Delegate to the Whig State Con- ! vention, and JOSEPH R. SMITH, of Lewistown, Representative.* The following gentlemen were appointed a standing County Coinmittc for the ensuing year: C. Hoover, Esq., West Ward, Lewistown. John Davis, East Ward, " Charles Caughlin, Newton Hamilton. John W. Hart, Wayne. John Wallers, M'Veytown. Charles Bratton, Bratton. Geo. 11. Galbraith, Oliver. John Ruble, Granville. Samuel Graham, Derry. T. G. Sterrctt, Decatur. James M. Lashcll, Menno. Isaac Stirk, Union. William Brothers, Brown. Robert M. Kinsloe, Armagh. *As Chairman of tho County Committee wc may remark that the appointment of Delegates to the State Convention was not contemplated in i the call issued for a county convention. The | usual course has always been to cull a county mooting for that special purpose when the can- , didate* likely to appuar before the State. Con vention were known. We have no objection to j either of the gentlemen named, but as the con- j vi ntiiin which made these nominations failed to ■ appoint Senatorial Conferees, it will still he ne- ! ccssary to hold a county meeting for that purpose. I In MISSOURI the Whigs have probably elected lour members of Congress. CONGRESS. —None of the important bills which were passed in the Senate have been I 1 # | acted on in the House, and some entertain a belief that the abolitionists of the North and the ultra slavery men of the South— a most strange union—will combine to de feat them. We trust, however, that there are liberal-minded men enough in Congress who can look at public measures in the ; light a patriot and statesman would view them, and act for the good of our common country. lie who expects to have every thing his own way in this land of " free thought," can hardly be called a good citi zen, because from the nature of our insti tutions and diversity of interests, there must always be a concession from one por tion to the other on any question affecting the north, south, or west. In this light we feel confident the people view the bills so long before Congress, and although perhaps not approving their features as a whole, j they would rejoice in any action that would : result in a more quiet state of things.
