Col. Wm. Bigler for Governor.
Mu Editor: —I will be happy to have the use ot*
a small space in your valuable paper, for the pur
pose of presenting to the people of Pennsylvania
the name of Col. William Bigler, of Clearfield
county, for Governor, lhave not often seen among
the leading men of any party, one for whom I could
Jay aside my accustomed diffidence to take the po
litical arena, before Col. Bigler. Party organiza
tion and party discipline, can do but little towards
achieving a glorious victory, unless men of probity,
honor and integrity, are elevated to office. Corrup
tion may for a time hold the ascendencyit may
elevate corrupt men to office, but that terrible giant,
public opinion, will arouse from its lethargy arid
hurl into insignificance the impostors. Men may
be blinded in the choice of their officers; they may
be deceived in those in whom they repose confi
dence; —yet, our institutions are such, that every
man has theremedy in his own hands, and needs
only to Bpply itdo correct the evil.
In making party nominations, there is a great
deal at stake. The character, the credit, and the
very existence ol the party depends upon making
good nominations. Here, in Pennsylvania, where
the progressive spirit of the age demands that all
the Democratic office holders should be of superior
abilities and unflinching integrity, it becomes doubly
necessary to have a vigilant eye to the character ami
standing of the man the Democracy places in nom-
ination for the principal office in the State. \\j~ TICKETS lor the Election are printed and

|,Tlie Late Delegate Elections. ,
Mr. Si.xi)Ensox: — II the subject of instructing • John W. Jackson, City,
the delegates to the tate County Convention, on the j l)r. Agnew, Sadsbury.
Gubernatorial question, “was fully understood and i George G. Brush, Manor.
canvassed in every part of the county.” prior to . rn , .
the delegate elections, as is alleged by the Laneas- . followin S I,st of fov.’nsh.p Committees
terian, may I ask how it is that, out of forty-three has been handed us by Col. Fov.dkey in connexion
townships, boroughs and wards in the county, it ' with the above notice for the meeting of the County
has only been able to enumerate nine in which the ! (;omniittee
question was directly or indirectly raised—and one }
of these, too, the East Ward of this City, where it j
is notorious that such a procedure was aa-ver j
dreamed of, until just at the close of the meeting
when there were not a dozen of persons present
who voted one way or the other.
Mr. Editor, I like to seo fair play in politics as
well as in everything else—and to ensure harmony
and concord in sie party, it is essentially itecessaiy
• that open, honorable and manly dealing should
characterize all our actions. By the Laoeasterian's
own showing there were delegates but from the
cme-ff/th part of the county instructed on the subject
of Governor. Of course, the inference-is legitimately
drawn, that those who were not so instructed were
sent without any reference whatever to that sub
ject, at least so far as the people were concerned.
The delegates from the jemaftiing thrrty-four dis
tricts had a perfect right to express their indvidual
preferences on ;be subject; but, 1 apprehend, they
had no right to pledge their constituents to any
particular candidate in the absence ol everything
like instructions. Had the issue been fairly and
openly made in every district, it may be that the
general result would have been the same—but, in
that event, no one could have with reason com
-•'plained, and all woujd have cheerfully submitted
1 to the decision.
The thirty-six gentlemen who protested may be
called “discontent?” and the County Committee,
under whose'call the Convention assembled, may
be charged with “inconsistency' 1 and a “usurpation
. of pcfjver,” in very properly, as many Democrats
think, postponing the Gubernatorial question, with
that of the Judiciary which is yet in abeyance, tr>
a later period; but all this will not be sufficient Vo
convince sensible men, unless they eon show that
the delegates from more than one-fifth of the dis
tricts were elected and instructed hy the people—
not a city clique—with reference to that question.
The supplanting of the County Committee, ap
pointed in April last, after they had held the post
but five months, is attempted to be justified on ac
count of what the Lancasterian is pleased, to call
“ tardiness” in assembling the County Convention.
This, it is presumable, was an after thought entire
ly, aal venture to affirm that such a silly attempt
at justification would never have been made by the
writer for "that paper had there been any thing of
a more tangible character to rely upon as an ex
cuse for the unprecedented act. An open insult
was .given to the gentlemen composing the Com
mtttee by overslaughing them, when no former Co.
Committee ever held its appointment for less than
a year, and the. one immediately preceding it held
over for a period of twenty months! And now, in
addition, the insult is aggravated two-fold, by char
ging it with negligence of duty and ‘'tardiness” in
its movements. Truly, in the estimation of the
Lancasterian, a poor excuse ja better than none at

| rous of having the fact known by the Democracy
j of the County.
A. Word ill Season,
Fellow Democrats —But one week remains
lor you to perfect your organization. On Tuesday
next you will be expected to do your duty, by de- >
positing your votes in the ballot boxes. Are you I
all ready for the contest l Have your several j
townships and boroughs been canvassed, and are j
! arrangements made to have all the voters—tlie ;
young and the middle aged, the aged and infirm—j
,at "the polls? Have conveyances been provided j
for those who are poor and who reside at a dis- \
l tance trom the place of holding the election? We j
I hope all these arrangements have been made either
by the Township Committees or by those of our t
| friends who have the time and means at their dis- 1
| posal. If this has not yet been done in any of the
districts—if a thorough organization has not yet
been effected, we hope it will be done immediately,
as there is not a moment to lose. Delay is at all
| times dangerous; but more especially now, when j
: hut six working days remain to accomplish the j
! work that is absolutely necessary to be done, if the
j Democrats of Lancaster county will not be consid
j ered derelict in duty. Important State Officers are
i to be elected on Tuesday next, and the responsibil
ity may rest upon the six thousand Democrats of
tlus county of determining whether those officers
shall be Democrats or Whigs.
Fellow Democrats —We urge you to the faith
ful and diligent discharge of your whole duty from
now until the closing of the polls. Your principles
are at stake—your candidates for State and County
offices, have claims upon you—ami the Duty you
owe to your common country 7 , requires that you
should spare no pains, be lacking in no energy', in
the discharge of this high obligation which it is
incumbent upon you to discharge.
Once more, then, Democrats, we urge you to
the rescue. Give a long pull—a strong pull—and
a pull altogether—and, our word for it, you will
have abundant cause to rejoice at what your united
efforts have accomplished in the glorious cause for
which you do battle. &
Governor Johnston*
This political mountebank, says the Harrisburg
Union, is now scheming to secure a majority in the
State Legislature, favorable to his election to the
U. S. Senate. A few days ago he made a political
harangue to the "Whigs of Union county 7 , and in
'"other quarters we notice that invitations have been
extended to his Excellency for a like purpose.—
What seems a little strange, and which confirms j
our belief, is the fact that in these pilgrimages he
monopolizes all the glory. He appears determined
to head Cooper or die.
j£7* Gov. Johnston was here, in Lancaster, on
Friday last, and left lor Lebanon under charge of
a very spirited escort of three gentlemen. He made
a speech at a Whig meeting there on Saturday.
ID* Col. William Bigler was here on Thurs
day night last, being detained in consequence of the
break in the Railroad, near Middletown. He left
on Friday for his home in Clearfield, in fine health
and spirits.
The Equinoctial.
We were visited with a succession oi heavy rains
during the latter part of last week, accompanied
with wind, thunder and lightning, which forcibly
reminded us of the autumnal equinox. The streams
in this vicinity were swollen considerably; but we
have not heard of any damage resulting therefrom,
except a small portion (about 30 feet,) of the Rail
road, three miles east of Middletown, which was
washed away, and which prevented the running of
( *he Cars from Thursday to Saturday.
The weather has since been delightful.
R e V- Edwim Hutteb entered upon his duties as
Pastor Mathews Lutheran Church, in
on Sunday week. •
The Congressional Elections.
The people of Lancaster county have to decide
on Tuesday next, whether they will be represented
in the next Congress by Thadpeus Stxtens or
Dr. F. A. Muhlxvbxho. It is a highly important
question presented for their decision, and upon the
result depends the character of the county for many
years to come. We speak not of its political char
acter—for that is strongly and decidedly Whig,
admitted to-be so all over the Union. But we
allude to the bearing the result will have, in fixing
the character of our citizens as a moral and order
loving, patriotic community.
If Mr. Stevens is elected, the charge of Aboli
tionism and Disunionism —to say nothing of im
morality—will be fixed upon us, and we shall be
looked upon, throughout the whole extent of the
Union, as a band of fanatics and madmen who
would not hesitate to apply the torch to the Tem
ple of Liberty itself, and bury the last hope of
freedom beneath its ruins. In addition we will
sanction the neglect of public business, the great
injury the leading interests of our Commonwealth
have sustained, and an utter recklessness of conse
quences to our own interests, present aud pros
pective. ' >
On the other hand, if Dr. Muhlenberg is elect
ed, we shall have a representative of whom every
citizen of the county may be proud. We shall
have a Congressman of irreproachable moral char
acter—of high literary and scientific attainments — j
of great respectability and influence, who would
wield that influence in accordance with the feelings
and wishes of his constituents.
On the one hand, we have presented to us for
our suffrages a comparative stranger, who is either
unacquainted with the wishes of our people, or
else purposely reckless in his conduct. Oil the
other hand, we have a native citizen of the county,
who is an ornament to his profession—a man uni
versally beloved by all parties—of fine talents, and
of great honesty and integrity of character, w’ho
would do honor to his constituents in that or any
other capacity.
Choose ye between them. Upon you, fellow
citizens of Lancaster eo;, rests the responsibility of
the decision. We have discharged our duty in the
premises.
The County Commissioner
This is an office ol great importance at the pres
ent time, when the people are ground down by
taxes for building the New Prison,’and other ex
penses. We learn that the County Taxes of the
present year exceed those of the last assessment a
bout 50 per cent., a fact that ought to startle the
tax-payers of Lancaster county, and induce them
to change a state of things which will go on from
bad to worse, if not speedily checked. Now, who
are responsible lor these high taxes? Not the Dem
ocrats, certainly, who have been excluded for many
years from any participation-in the management
of County affairs. When they had a voice in the
Board some fifteen or twenty years ago, there was
; no such extravagant waste ofjhe public luiids.—
| What, then, is the remedy t We answer a speedy
! return to the good olden times we have alluded to.
j- Let there be at least one Democrat in the Board of
i Commissioners, who will act aB a check upon his
; colleagues and protect the interests of the county.
The Democratic candidate, Mr. William YVhite
side, of Colerain, is a gentleman of intelligence and
business, habits, in all respects well qualified to dis
charge the duties and responsibilities of County
Commissioner. He is opposed to extravagance in
every shape and form, and would, if elected, advo
■ cate a reduction of the taxes, and carry out the
wishes of the people generally.
The people, therefore, without respect to party,
support Mr. Whiteside. Unless they etiect
a change in the Board, it Is idle for them to exjiect
■ a change of measures. They have the opportunity
• afforded them now, if they will embrace it, by elect*
j ing the Democratic candidate for Commissioner.
■ Will they do it ? We sincerely hope so.
jyj- The Union & Tribute, of this City, is call
ing with great earnestness upon the Whigs to
arouse from their lethargy and come to the rescue.
But it is like “ calling spirits from the vasty deep"
—they wont come ! After the Galphin rascalities
at Washington, by which the Treasury has been
plundered of hundreds of thousands—after the
frauds, deceits and humbugs practiced by the Whig
leaders—alter the treasonable conduct of Thaddeus j
Stevexs, who, by his violent abuse of the Southern j
people, has done more to prejudice the interests of
.Pennsylvania than any other ten men in Congress
it is folly to suppose that the respectable and
order loving Whigs of Lancaster county will again
obey the mandates of the clique in this City who
have heretofore managed matters for them. Mr.
Stevens has no feeling in common with the great
bo'dy of the people in Lancaster county—he never
had any respect for the intelligence of the masses.
He had himself foisted upon them two years ago,
so that he might carry out his ulterior designs
against the Union. He has always bean, as a
politician, 1; a bold, bad man.'' His course in the
Legislature, by which he came near embroiling
the citizens of Pennsylvania in civil war—and his
conduct since he took his seat in Congress, in fos
tering discord and disunion, to the neglert of the
important interests of his State, fully justify us in
saying that he is one of the most dangerous men
in the Commonwealth, and that he is the very last
man the people should select as their representative.
That he has talents of a high order, all will admit;
but these only make him the more dangerous.
Danton and Robespierre were also men of superior
talents—but they were enemies to their race, and
a curse to the people of France.
The people of Lancaster county have, in the
nomination of Dr? Frederick A. Muhlexrerg,
an opportunity afforded them of redeeming the
district from the obloquy that now rests upon it.—
That many Whigs will throw off their party shack
les and vote for this estimable gentleman, we have
scarcely a doubt—that all ought to do so, is equally
clear. Dr. M. is a native of this City—reared and
educated among the people of the County—well
acquainted with their wishes, and has the energy,
ability and disposition to carry those wishes into
effect. Should the people of Lancaster Co. elect
him as their representative, his course in Congress
would be such as to reflect credit upon himself and
constituents, and go far to remove the stigma that
Mr. S. has fastened upon them. The candidates
are now fairly belore the public, and it is for each
and every voter to decide at the ballot box, on
Tuesday next, which of them he will choose.
A Full Democratic Vote.
The. following argument addressed by the veteran
Strickland, of the West Chester Republican, to the
Democrats of Chester county, will apply with much
greater force to Lancaster county, where the Dem
ocratic strength is nearly double * —
We trust the Democrats of this county have not
lightly regarded the arguments we addressed last
week to the Committee of Vigilance, in favor of a
full democratic vqte in this co., at the approaching
election. They err greatly—they not only ftrong
themselves, but fail to do their duty to the Democ
racy of the State, if they permit the fact that Whig;
gery has a majority in this county, to keep them
away from the polls. This is a State election, at
which democratic candidates for important State
offices are to be elected or defeated; and their sue
cess will be promoted just as much and as certainly
by democratic votes in Chester, as in any other co.;
and a Chester co. democrat, at home or not voting,
tells just as effectually against our State candidates,
and just as certainly brings defeat, as would similar
conduct on the part of a Berks Democrat. A dem
ocratic triumph in Pennsylvania, can only be secured
by the votes of all the Democrats in all the counties , —
a consideration which, we hope, will cause the
Democrats of every district in Chester co., to have
their full strength out on Tuesday, the Sth of Octo
ber. •
HU" Bucks county has appointed'one Senatorial
and three Representative delegates to the State
Convention, and instructed them for Col. William
Naturalization Frauds.
The whole community of Philadelphia are as
tounded at the discovery made on Tuesday last, of
the fraudulent issue of a number of naturalization
papers, from the offiee of Xuces.Vistaiid, the Pro*
thonotary of the Court oi Common Pleas, appointed
a few months since by Governor Johnston to fill a
vacancy occasioned by the death of the former
incumbent »
An examination was had before Judge Parsons'
and it is not often that the records of any Court
exhibit so complete and shameless a piece oi vil
lany. The Prothonotary*—an officer who is sworn
to support the laws of the State? and perform the
duties of the office with fidelity—swears that one
of the records of his office, the only one, too, which
is of the most importance for guarding the rights
of legal voters, “is not to be found —he saic it about
lico weeks since;'' and that is all that he knows
about it! and this man is the candidate of the
Native American Whig party for the office lie now
holds by appointment One of two things is cer
tain. he has either sanctioned the gross outrage, or
else he is culpably negligent in the discharge'oi his
duties as a sworn officer.
Other witnesses were examined, amongst the
rest a Clerk in the Prothonotary’s office, aft ol
whom made it more and more evident that a most
villainous fraud had been perpetrated, perhaps to a
much greater extent than there is any conception
of, and that at least one of the Whig Deputies, a
man named Barr, was deeply engaged in the nefa
rious business.
After a lull hearing, the Court ordered that J.
Barr and James Stewart be bound over in the sum
of $5OOO each, and the Prothonotary, Jas. Vinyard,
and M. Devine, in the sum of $2OOO each.
jjy Mr. Stevens, ol Lancaster, gave notice, last
week, in Congress, that he should ask leave to
bring in bills to alter and amend the revenue laws
so as to afford reasonable protection and encourge
ment to American labor; to abolish slavery in the
Territory of Utah; to repeal so much of the acts
establishing territorial governments in New Mexico
and Utah, as recognizes slavery in said Territories
und as pledges the nation to admit new slave States
into the Union ; and to repeal and annul the fugitive
slave law, passed September lBsu.
Thus this reckless agitator, who was foiled in
his attempt to overturn the constitution ol Penn
sylvania, would undo all that has been done for the
restoration of harmony among the States, and re
peal the great peace measures over the passage of
which the whole country is now rejoicing. He
would put forward his enlarged philanthrophy as
the motive for his unjustifiable conduct. His re
gard lor “American labor' must be enormous, as it
is indiscriminating; and his love of the institutions
of our government, the people ol Pennsylvania
have had evidence, is past finding out. We give
the protectionists joy of their leader.' Their cause
will be likely to flourish in his hands.— Keystone.
The Cumberland District
We learn from various sources that the Whigs
of the Cumberland Congressional district are mak
ing the most strenuous exertions to defeat the able
and accomplished McLanahan. The old and stale
cry of protection is brought to bear against him,
and the minds of the unsuspecting are sought to be
prejudiced by all manner of fabrications.and false
hoods. It behooves our Democratic friends in that
district to be up and doing—especially should the
Democracy of Cumberland rouse themselves to the
work. The district at best is a closely contested
one, the Whig majority of Franklin being nearly
equivalent to the Democratic majority of Perry—
thus throwing the balance of power to Old Mother
| Cumberland. Will the Democrats there do their
1 whole duty ' We hope they will. We urge them
I to it by every consideration which can impel men
I .to action. The eyes of the whole State are upon
I that district. F.very where great solicitude is felt
j for the result. Once more, then, we urge our fellow
, Democrats ot Cumberland—with whom \ye have
! stood shoulder to shoulder in many a hard fought
j battle —to do their whole duty to themselves, their
j District, the State, and the Union, on Tuesday next.
TBie Late President Taylor.
The following communication was transmitted
to Congress by .the President on Tuesday last:
To the Senate and House of Representatives:
Having been informed that it is the wish of the
family and relatives of the late lamented President
of the United States that his remains should be re
moved to the State of Kentucky, and being desirous
of manifesting the most sincere and profound res
pect for the character of the deceased, in which I
doubt not Congress will fully concur, I have felt it
to be my duty to make known to you the wishes
of the family, that you might, previous to your ad
journment, adopt such proceedings and take such,
order on the subject as in your wisdom may seem
meet and proper on the occasion.
MILLARD FILLMORE.
An appropriation was made for the purpose con
templated in the message.
Cj 3 * The Jun ion Bachelors' Cotiliox Party,
at the Mechanics' Institute, on Thursday night, is :
represented as having been quite a brilliant affair,
and highly creditable to the Managers and all who
participated in it. Our neighbor of the Gazette?
who was present, is in raptures with it, and says;
We have gazed upon many a brilliant assemblage,
but never upon one, which,'for the number of la
dies present, combined so much real elegance and
beauty.'’ Spangler is a judge of such matters,
.and, as we were not there, although invited, we
take his word for it, and doubt not the party was
every thing he represents it to have been.
Another Fire. —The barn of Mr. Henry Gray

the whole, of its contents. Several of the Fire Com
panies of the City run out, and rendered efficient
service in protecting the Mill and neighboring buil

been the work of an incendiary. The barn was in-,

„ • From the Penoiytvinian.
Hon. Ephraim Banks of Mifflin cc.
Ephraim Banks is the eldest son of Gen.iJames
Banks, who represented old Mifflin county m the
Legislature, when that body sat at Lancaster, and
was one ol those Democrats who sustained Gover
nor Snyderif celebrated veto of the forty bank
charters. ' ; • * '
The subject ol this notice was born in Lost
Creek Valley.-Juniata county, about the year 1792
or 1703. In early life he resided upon his father’s
farm in Mifflin county.
When quite a young mhn he was put into the
office of Mr. Whitehill of Harrisburg, where he
remained for several years. After leaving Harris
burg he returned to Mifflintown, now the county
seat ol Juniata county, where he-.was employed in
the store of Thos. Cochran as a clerk
His uniform good conduct, aud strict attention
to business, soon secured him the confidence of his
employer, who took him in as a partner in the bus
iness, after a full knowledge of his character and
business qualifications.
In a few years;. Mr. Cochran sold out his interest
in the store to Mr. Banks, who became the sole pi o
prietor. Mr. Banks continual the business of store
keeping till the year ISIS, when Governor Findlay
appointed him Prothonotary of old Mifflin county,
which appointment he held during Gov. Findlay's
term. This was the first public station Mr. Banks
held—the duties of which he discharged with sciu-
pulous fidelity and signal ability. During the time
he was Prothonotary, he read law, and was admit
ted to the bar, and licensed to practice as a lawyer
in 1821.
In IS2S, bis fellow citizens elected him to the
Legislature, to represent Mifflin county.
He served his constituents in the Legislature three
sessions, namely, IS2S-9, 1829-80, and 1830-31.
During the sessions of 1&29-30 and 1830-31, he
was chairman of the Judiciary Committee oi the
House of Representatives, one of the most impor
tant committees in the body; and- such was the
ability displayed by Mr. Banks, as chairman ot that
committee, that the Democratic members of the
Legisjature, in 1 S3l, unanimously recommended
the name of Ephraim Banks to Governor Wolf for
the office of President Judge of the Butler district,
to which Judge Bredin was afterwards appointed.
Governor Wolf would have appointed Mr. Banks
to the bench on that occasion, but lor the fact, that
his'cousin and brother-in-law Judge John Banks,
now of Reading, was then a practicing lawyer at
the bar in the Butler and Mercer district. In 1830
Ephraim Banks waspnce more called upon to.serve
the people, and in the autumn of that year he was
elected a member of the Relorm Convention, to
amend the Constitution, in a decidedly Whig dis
trict, composed as it was, of the counties of Union. ]
Mifflin and Juniata. In this latter body, composed
of the first minds in the State, Mr. Banks sustained
a high position, both for talents and ability, as well
as a degree ol urbanity ol manner and dignity, and
propriety jol deportment, that won for him hosts ol
Iriends, both in and out of the Convention. In
1545, Governor Shunk tendered a commission to
Mr. Banks as President Judge of the jndicial dis
trict composed of the counties of Centre, Clinton,
and Clearfield, during the pendency of Judge Wood
ward's nomination by President Polk, to the Senate
ol the United States, made vacant by the death ol
Judge Baldwin. Judge Woodward's nomination was
not confirmed by the Senate, apd consequently there
was no vacancy to fill, the latter not having resigned
his commission as Judge of the State courts.
Mr. Ranks has saved for himself and family a
competency by his talents and industry at the bar,
and is now enjoying a good practice, in Mifflin
county, as well as the undiminished confidence of
bis neighbors, of both poliiical parties, for being a
sound lawyer, a good citizen, a kind and obliging
neighbor, an exemplary Christian, and an affectionate
husband and father. Mr. Banks is a Democrat of
the old school, who has always been guided by the
old landmarks of Democracy. He has remained
through life, firm and consistent in his political
principles, breasting the whirlwind and the storm
of opposition on all occasions, with the courage ol
a veteran, and the confidence of an intelligent mind,
that had possessed itself of the truth of the doctrines
of the Democratic party. He is emphatically a
self-made man, who by dint of his own talents, in
dustry and perseverance, has built for himself a
reputation which has once more in
duced the publicto call upon him to serve them by
his triumphant nomination by a Democratic State
Convention for the important post of Auditor Gen
eral of Pennsylvania. His past life is a sufficient ]
guarantee to the people ot Pennsylvania as to his?
capacity, or fitness for the office for which lie is
now before the people. 1 have thus thrown to
gether the leading incidents ol the life of Hon.
Ephraim Banks, that all may know the man wjio
is before them for their suffrages.
Uj* Co. has appointed one Senatorial
and two Representative delegates to the Stale
Convention, and instructed them for Col. William
public for the last three years, to .need any puffing;
all he asks is, to give it a fair trial, therefore he
onlv gives the annexed, hoping that it will satisfy
all those persons who have not made a trial of his
treatment.
The great secret of his success is, that he
uses nothing that will injure the weakest constitu- i
lion, for instead of Forcing Nature, he will give '
such-IVledicines as will assist her in throwing off
