01 B TICKET.
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

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 !

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,

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.

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.
W. R. MORRIS, Esq., of York, has been
; appointed Commercial Agent at St. Thom
as. He is a sterling whig, and one of the
: best speakers probably in the State.
