1852, for the purpose of nominating a Canal
■Commissioner, forming an Electoral Ticket,
and choosing delegates to the National Con
vention. The Whigs of the various counties of

THOMAS WHITE, of Philadelphia, in
vites attention to ins slock of spring straw
goods.
Messrs. \\ ATSON & Cox, of Philadel
phia, continue the manufacture of all kinds
of wire work.
The summer session of the female de
partment of the Lewistown Academy
will commence on the last Monday of
February. This institution is eminently
worthy of public patronage.
The Limestone Quarry Lots and some
Dwellings are offered for rent.
An Auditor's notice also appears to-dav.
The DRUID HORN PLAYERS —with
Herr Sauter, who seems to understand the
arts and mysteries of " de riddle and de
bow, and the display of revolving disks
and pyrin fires—have drawn crowded
houses since their appearance at the Town
Hall; and as evidenre ol their popularity
we may mention that we have yet to hear
of ihe first one who has failed to express
satislactron at their performances. The
intisie is undoubtedly good, defying criti
cism, and their other performances are
both instructive and amusing. We under
stand they will give a concert this after
noon, and another this evening.
THE WEATHER, Ac.—f'p to Wednes
day evening we had several days of sun
shine, with a spring temperature, hut since
then high winds, with occasional snow
squalls. The ice gave way below the
bridge on Sunday at noon, and, as had
been apprehended, soon gorged at Jack's
Creek, swelling the Juniata and Kishaco
quillas bank full. At eleven o'clock on
Sunday night the water was at its highest
point, and then fell so rapidly as to lull all
fears of danger. The ice had also gorged
at several places above, as well as at the
bridge, but the channel is now compara
tively clear.
Lewis, of the Huntingdon Globe, says
ids cane was indefinitely postponed bv the
Canal Commissioners. We don't know
what he was an applicant for, but it.strikes
us that the Globe and Standard, consider
ing the way they go it tor the nominees,
ought both to he rewarded with something
between a mud-bosship and Supervisor.
In the State of Milflin the democracy does
up such things better, generallv giving an
editor something else to gnaw at besides
the ribs of a printing press.
Judge Graham, of the Carlisle dis
trict. lias been holding a special court in
this place since Monday.
The case of Elijah MtVey vs. Willis
A Stackpole and Willis Ac Co., No. 31,
April term, 1833, was decided in favor of
plaintiff.
John Potter A C o. for Albert Green vs.
-Samuel Ilopper, No. G+, August term
1818—decided for defendant.
The case of Kennedy vs. Davis, has
been in progress for some days, but is not
yet decided. Several suits on the list
have been settled, and sundry motions, Ac.
disposed of.
The Whig State Convention will meet
at llarrisburg on the- 25th of March, to se
lect a candidate for Canal Commissioner,
form an Electoral Ticket, and choose del
egates to the National-Convention. The
eall of the State central committee has
just been issued. A meeting of the vvliigs
ct Mifflin will be held sometime in March.
A friend at Lancaster gave us the wel
come information by telegraph last week
.hat Christian Kieffer, whig, had been
eieeted Mayor of Lancaster by 16U ma
jority, but it was accidentally omitted,
lie was run as a union candidate in oppo
sition to Mayor Ilambright, the regularly
nominated Buchanan can lidate.
An effort is being make to oust Fenn
Co. from the State printing. It seems to
xi* sucli a move, on the miserable pretext
offered. would be an act of gross injustice.
'I he printing has thus far been well done,
and at prices we wouldn't touch with a ten
loot pole.
1 he harmonious democracy had a sort
of buckshot war at Philadelphia last week
at the meeting of the county convention to
choose delegates to the State Convention
at Harrisburg. One set passed resolutions
in favor of Buchanan, the other for Cass
Pardons and Peculations.
\- - Whenever The - "" democracy fTnd therh
; selves in a tight place, they ate very apt
to start some political hobby lor the pur
! pose of drawing public attention away
front what might prove to be an unpleas
ant business, and by such means have thus
far managed to esrape or cover up the pec
cadilloes committed against the State. A
j few weeks ago Mr. Muhlenberg, a demo
cratic Senator from Berks, spoke his mind
pretty plainly respecting the canal board
and their retainers, and subsequently Mr.
Wise, a democratic member of the House,
gave his decided opinion that Ute Portage
; Railroad was a complete " lazar house" of
I corruption, and called for an investigation.
But an investigation was not wanted, and
the cohesive power of public plunder will
no doubt stille it, or clog it in such a man
ner as to be useless, even if made. Had
whigs made these charges, the officehold
ers would have turned up their noses with
; silent contempt, but coming from their own
side in both houses, it was feared the peo
ple might think there was some truth in it,
and the political trimmers accordinglv set
to work to hunt something about which a
great cry might lie made, even if there
was but little wool in it. Anon, it was dis
covered that Governor Johnston had had a
number of applications for pardons on
hand, many for months, which he had not
finally decided on until towards the close
of his term, and thus brought a number
together! Here was a fine for the
display of democratic editorials—and
though they apparently forget that Govern
or Shunk had granted a pardon for about
every other day lie was in office, and that
the first act of the kind granted bv Gov.
Bigler was the pardon of a man for kiJ
napping and taking into slavery a free
child —they will try and make the most of
it, in order to draw public attention from
the corruption practiced on the public
works, and the vast sums of money now
annually squandered on political favorites.
They may succeed ; but if they do, we
venture the prediction that it will cost the
taxpayers half a million at least for their
gullibility.

urer have furnished the following state

correspondent, " does not cover the object
of the resolution, while furnishing the in
formation demanded—the account furn

tabular statements of the annual reports of
the Hoard ot Canal Commissioners, Audi
tor General, Ac. The alleged frauds aris
ing lrom the present management of the
State Works can only be remedied bv the
introduction oi a bill changing the entire
system. Investigation will amount to lit
tle or nothing, while the vouchers and
other evidences of unsworn debt are buried
in the pockets of Supervisors and Super
intendents."

answer to a highly complimentary letter
from the \\ hig members of the Legislature:
PITTSBURGH, January 24, 1852.
To Messrs, Walker, Hart, and others. Senators and
Representatives in the General Jlssemb'o■
GKN'TLKMEN' : —A public servant retiring from
the discharge of official duly, ought not to de
sire a higher recompense than that manifested
in the expression of confidence and kindness
from those, with whom he has been associated.
This rich reward is furnished by your kind let
ter of lbth inst. f our approbation of my public
actions and social conduct in the warm terms
used in your communication, has filled mv heart
with the deepest feelings of gratitude." With
otiieial life, 1 dissever connection without a re
gret. when thus honored with the friendship of
those, whom long and intimate association, in
council, have afforded me so many reasons to
love and respect.
In separating, however, from cherished per
sonal friends, by whose agency 1 had been sus
tained, in the performance of arduous and re
sponsible duties, I cannot repress, by any philos
ophy 1 possess, a feeling of sorrow and regret.
In the constitution of our hearts there is some
thing which binds us to those with whom we
have passed many hours of our life, even if
they were days of anxiety and toil, llow much
stronger the feeling of attachment when we re
member many moments of happiness and mutu
al pleasure. To the Whig members of the Le
gislature, and permit me to add, to the citizens
of Harrisburg, I am indebted for many evidences
of kindness, which I can never hope to repay,
unless they will accept my fervent prayer and
the single otterings of my heart for their wel
fare and prosperity.
Whatever the future may say of the late ad
ministration of our Slate's affairs, it will he
hereafter a pleasant reminiscence that during
my term in office i was sustained by the Repre
sentatives in ray party, with an unanimity
which convinced my judgment that the motive's
influencing my actions, were appreciated and re
spected, even if a full concurrence of opinion
did not always exist. It was to this steady sup
port of friends and their good councils and ad
vices, that my anxious desire for the public good
owed much of its success.
Conscious that the frailties of humanity, as
fully centred in me, as in my neighbors" and
frequently placed by the peculiar action of par
ties and their passions, in embarrassing posi
tions; I could not have expected exemption
from censure or freedom from error. Blili lam
now, in recurring to the past, aware of 110 offi
cial action which 1 would desire to change or
modify.
In conclusion, permit me to declare that with
the warme-t feelings of an honest heart, I love
my native Commonwealth, 1 adore her rugged
mountains, her fruitful valleys, her glorious
rivers. 1 love her honest people, than whom
there is none on earth more willing to do justice
to the public servant.
Commending each of vou to the holy keeping
of that I'rovidtnce, without whose guiding influ
ence " our wisdom is folly and our works vani
ty," I beg to hid a farewell, with the request
that 1 may retain your affectionate remembrance.
1 have the honor to remain
\ our friend and fellow-citizen,

ad valorem duties, with such rates of du
ties as will yield a sufficient revenue, and
with such discriminations in favor of iron
and other articles of domestic manufacture
and production as will protect the labor of
our own citizens against foreign competi
tion. Objection being made, .Mr. Welch
moved a suspension of rules, and on this,

" That star went down in beauty, yet

i They only who have centered their affections
on some fair flower verging on that age when it
i seems most dear—when it twines itself around
the heart by that simple prattle and guileless
demeanor, partaking less of earth than Heaven
j —can know or feel the deep void in the hearts
j ot parents when, after days and nights of arix- :
I IOUS watching, they have laid a loved one in the •
| cold, cold grave. Ah ! how often will memory
recal to rnind some word or action, uttered or
performed with the gleesome tone or lighthead
edness of childhood, and the eve turn to the
spots where she was wont to be, but is not!
How often will some little article, a gift be
stowed when health and bloom were on her
cheek, bring back both form and feature, as
though it were a living reality ! Yet sucli will j
not always he the feeling. As time moves on
in its ceaseless course, He who tempers the wind
to the. shorn lamb, has so constituted the human
heart that that which may now be a source of
pain and wringing anguish, becomes a melan
choly pleasure ; and much as grief may now
pale the cheek or dim the eye, we may trust
that ere the snows of another winter will man
tle the tops of yon steeps, fond memory will
regard Lizzie as an angel rather than a child of
earth. Here, had life been spared, there might j
have been trials, sufferings, and temptations; in 1
that far off home, w here a High and Holy One
has provided an eternal realm for such as her, I
there ate neither. Best, then, thou little slum
berer, beneath the evergreen bough where they
made thy grave ! Thou wast lovely and gentle
during thy brief pilgrimage on earth, and gave
promise of noble trails of ciiaracter; but thv race
is run ; thy future is among those brilliant orbs !
where flowers neither fade nor perish, where
the sweetest dreams of childhood's halcvon dav>
are more than realized in a happy reality. Who,
of mortal kin, even had they the power, would
call thee back : x. p.

BALTIMORE, February 10, P. M„ 1 352 I
There was a good inquiry for Flour, but hold- .
ers were generally above the viewsof buyers.
We have sales of about 1,000 bbls. Howard
Street Flour at $4,25. Holders having had
their stock pretty well reduced yesterday, were
probably tinner in their views than they other- |
wise would have been, as they refused to sell
towards the close of '('hangeal $4,25. Sales of
400 bbls. City Mills Flour at $4,1-ijJ, cash, and
1.000 bbls. at $4,25. It was held higher at tne
close of the market.
The London Shipping Gazette, of 23J Janu
ary, in its review of the gram trade for the
week, says—
" From the continent of Europe no further
supplies can, it seems, at present be calculated i
on, but it does not follow that importations will
wholly cease; there is certainly no margin for
profit at present, but this will not stop the sup
plies from the Black Sea and from America,
We cam >t agree w :fh tnose who predict scar
city and high prices ; at the saoe time we are
inclined to expect a g.iod healthv lrad\ at rates
somewhat above those now current tor a month
or two to come."
Train's Liverpool Circular, of the 24th Jan
uary. holds the following language '
Corn.—Prices of all descriptions of Bread
o tuns are steadily advancing. France last year
sent large quantities of Flour, whilst at present
ttio price of VV heat is higher in Paris than m
iA)ndon,and the best marks of Fiour have risen
