WOODWARD, of Lucerne Co. The Democratic Slate Convention The Democratic State Convention which assem bled at Harrisburg on the 26th oft , has finished its labors, and the members thereof are by this time at their homes. The nominees are, for Supreme Judge, GrOhGE W., WOODWARD, of Luzerne; for Canal Commissioner, Wat. HOPKINS, of Washing ton. The former was the Unanimous nominee of the COnvention, and we most cordially endorse its suoice. Judge W. is eminently fl led to adorn the preme Ben sh, and to win for himself a high repo. satinet as a jurist. That the candidate is horn the North, is owing to no dinicisition in the Convention to act prudently; but to the circumstance that Gov. Mosta had wisely appointed him in place of Judge Comma deceased, and thus anticipated and fore stalled the action of that body. With the nomination for Canal Commissioner wa are not pleased:- On the contrary,-. it is a mat ter of deep mortification and disappointment. An opportunity was aflorded the Convention to show some sort of fairness to the North. Common d.;- centy and regatdfor the rights of the valets in this Democratic section of the Commonwealth, de manded that the candidate should be conceded to the North. its interests—the welfare of the S:ate— and the good of the party, require that a Canal Commissioner should be selected horn amongst the many capable and reliable Democrats in this sec lion. We were confident, that this opportunity would not be neglected, and that, if this county should not furnish the candidate, some of our neigh. boring Democratic Counties would be more fortu nate But we turn-to our map to be sure that our Poli.ical Geography is not at fault, and to be certain where IVashingion County is located, and find it in the extreme Southwestern portion of this broad Commonwealth. It is to be presumed that the dit. ferent portions of the State have each their local improvements and interests, which imperatively re quire that a Canal Commissioner should be chosen personally acquainted with their wants and capaci ties. The interests of the State also, would seem to indicate such a course It is of the neglect ce this, that we complain. it is of no importance to ne who the particular person is, but we do demand that there shall be some regard paid to the interests of a section of the State, as populous and flourish ing and Democratic, as the North now is. . It is time she asserted her rights, and claimed that due share of attention and rerpect to her interests a••d wishes, to which she is entitled. It is time she wielded the power she possesses, to impress upon those who are disposed to slight her, a due sense of her strength and her importance when a democrat. to majority is necessary. Now let us look at the location of the Canal Board, as it will be organized after the retirement of Mr. GAMBLE :—Bucks, Clarion and Washington counties furnish the Uwe members. Who is to represent the North, (and by that we mean the en tire northeatitem portion of the State, now second in importance to no section of the Commonwealth)— who is 'qualified in the Canal Board, from location end experience, to properly manage and control the improvements in plogress and completed, in the North t Who in the Canal 'Board, is as thorough. ly conversant with our requirements, with our re sources, and what is needed to develops them for our own prosperity and the good of the State, as would have been a man from this section t We do not mean to i peach the intelligence and ee rie), of the Boars but from the verycircomstancee of the can, it is imp. a that we shall be prop. .elly and fairly dealt with, without a representation .to lay our claims before that body. They me all 'from a distant part of the State, and cannot be ex pected to have that interest in our advancement, or that information in regard to what is needed, as a member would have who was intimately acquaint ed with our territory and our people. There is no other office in the Commonwealth, +►bete the question of locality . has any force, except in the case of Canal Commissioner. It seems to us that in the selection of candidates for that office, care should be taken to so locate the diflerent mem. berg that all the great interests and improvement, of .I the State should be equalty and fairly represented. This is what the North asked, and had a right to expect. That It has not been done, is good cause for complaint. Now long the voters of the North will be content with such a state of things is for themselves to say. We suppose there is no reme. sly on the present occasion, but we must submit in p a ti ence , as we have submitted on many a previous occasion. The question is narrowed to this : Nownsor HOFFAIAN 7 we gain nothing tram the election of the latter, but on the contrary, would hoe a member of the Board from a strong anti. improvement county, and one in no way qualified to discharge the duties of the office, and Heaven knows'we hare no desire to place a Whig in the Board, for experience has proven that.

In government, it remains for the historian, gmping back through ages that have pass ed, to unravel end elucidate the mystery, often with meagre sources of information, and with but little light to illuminate the subject of which he treats. There is a part of the political history of this country, which will never be written, because it is not of itself of importance enough to demand of the future historian even a passing notice ; involving nt, momentous results ; retarding or advancing no principle, and yet of immense importance when we consider the great magnitude of the problem we are now solving : the capability of the people for seggoveroment. We allude to the primary movements lot the selection of candidates for the support of the people—in fact to the system, now gigantic and complicated, of caucuses and conven tions. This whole system is so secret in its workings. and so liable tolabuse, that we have almost, if not quite become , a convert to Berrropes doctrine, and would be glad to see the entire and complicated machinery, for controlling and abusing the ex pression of the public will, swept at once away, and place in thereof allow the voters to express their preference directly at the pol la The political history of this state for the last few months, is so striking an illus ration of the influen ces which control our State Conventions, and of the depravity and corruption of those bodies, that w e are temp t ed to attempt to record a single lea!, that the public may know the depth of their declen sion. We will commence with the last Fourth of March Convention, by premising that the great struggle there was between hams BUCHANAN and those who did not favor that pretender's aspirations, chiefly supporting Gen. Cass. The fight was the fiercer, because the friends of the former, saw, or thought they saw in prospect, the lull fruition of all their hopes. There was a probability that BUCH !NAN might be nominated. This drew to him all that class of mercenary politicians, ter which Pennsyl vania, is so celebrated—men of every shade, intent and constant to but one single principle,-that of gain : men who have no higher motive than plun der, and whose only love of the Democratic party is that it is the machinery by which they secure to themselves office—men, who would be leech-like in their natures, only that the leech, when gorged, is satit.fied, and quits its hold. This aggregation of political dishonesty, possessing means, and wield ing:considerable influence, were suceessfullin con• trolling the convention, and perpetrate] outrages upon the minority and usages of thp Democratic party, of which the selection of a man as Delegate to the Baltimore Convention from this district, who never in all his erratic political career, supported the nominee of that Convention for the Presiden cy, is a lair sample. At that Convention, while trinmphing and do minering over the minority, still some measures were necessary to secure the unity of the party at the palls. It is somewhat unfortunate for the plans of politicians sometimes, that the people are called upon to ratify their proceedings at the ballot-boxes where they have an opportunity of expressing their aprobation oudisapprobation of their conduct. In the present instance,. the BUCHANAN men, feeling unusually generous, or supposing some concession was necessary; putting aside their own friends who were candidates, somewhat cavalierly, decided that the nomination of Wne. Szaarorrr, a decided Cass man, would be the beat policy, and accord ingly they gave him the nomination. The Baltimore Convention came and passed, and with it the hopes that had been based upon Mr. tts - citasiin't nomination. In vain were the arduous labors of many months--in vain the libations offer ed up at " Carroll Hall." Men who had indulged in pleasant anticipations of fatcontracts, of lucrative offices, or-of honorable foreign missions, found their prospects ili.sipated, their chances vanished, with no more reality than ' the baseless fabric of a vision: After a proper period had elapsed for them to re cover from ;their sad disappointment, these men have resolviiil that it Mr. BUCHANAN could not be Presiilen., at least he shall be Secretary of State. This would give him an opportunity of controlling many of the appointments, and secure to his devot ed and disinterested friends some cbanceof reward. This is now the programme, and the faithfiil will move Heaven and earth to secure 'its accomplish ment. In looking, about them, they found that the ar rangement in regard to Canal Commissioner, though a good one with Bum as a candidate for President, was very unfortunate, when he became • an applj• cant for the post of Secretary of State. In one case, it brought his opponents to his support at the polls— inil the prey nt attitude of affars, it would be placing influence i the hands of an enemy to be wielded against hi advancement to the Cabinet of Presi dent Nance. How to get rid of Scsanrr, became at once a grave and perplexing question. But he must be got lid of, or Buces ease was hopeless... Let us now examine the internal means employed. About this time, that is, while the BucnsaAa men were in their greatest perplexity, appeared theialtie and slanderous charges against WM SI:AUGHT% moral character. We.will not say that: they were instigated for the purpose Sought, but they wee quickly caught at, by those who thought they bed made too greats concession in bis nomination -. before had never deemed it necessary to inquire into the Ciling•ol:A4 a candidate became -;soddenly convinced" ,•••ifiat it" - • . lr was an unfortAateiiilfai theidid miebelie4 Mr. ScaatoW was:guilt,* bukiiiii - ekatiou was hazarifid bylhese riles, and ri was due to the Demomiuic Arty, that lurshould withdrAW from the canvass,'ar.d allow the Convention which was to assemble, to nominate a new candidate—who would • be more , certain of An election, and besides would favor Mr. Bucnanaa's elevation. • We cannot say how farlhis matter bad gone— whether the faithful were ready to repudiate Mr. Szsinotre at the Convention ermot. wari but re emits, started, and we believe the everlasting dirk grace rifterngthe' enfrDetirienitic 'piper In the State that endorsed the slanders of the Whigs, be longs to the Bedford Gazelle The plot came to a focus at Bedford Springs, and Bowman wasthe man selected Ur commence the onslaughL That the whole venal pack would soon have, opened, in full aryl we have no question, but it pleased Providence to remove the object of their persecution from this world, to that land, " where the wicked cease from troubling " Mr. SEARIGHT died before the plot was fully developed,--died just in time to relieve the •Bccasnaw Ten from their perplexing situation. The most disgusting feature of the disgraceful oc currence, took place at the Democratic Convention In that body, the very men who had has . ened the death of WM. SEARIGHT were the first to offer their hypocritical tears to his memory, anti the voices which had but recently been traducing him, most zealous to bear :estimony to his character fur recti tude and honesty. Out upon such simulation f ft is a disgrace to the Democratic party In connexion with this subject, in fact apart of it, we may mention that about the time that Mr. Sea• RIGHT'S repudiation was mooted, Judge CAMPBELL paid a visit to the North. Now the Judge's busi ness in this region, it is not our purpose to enquire It is no matter of ours, for he has an undoubted right to visit Bradford County, every month it he chooses, without having the reasons for his visits enquired for. . Perhaps the Judge felt grateful for the suppcm given him in this C..enty, when in (titer parts of the State, he was deserted by those who should have sustained him, and he desired to be more intimately acquainted with our people But one thine is certain : shortly afer his visit, the truth ful hereabouts seemed to be aware that SEARIGHT was to have gone overboard, and that HoPRIN• was the man selected as the candidate. We don't know from whence they derived their information, nor do we know that Judge Co meau's presence North, was in view of any such arrangement. We crate facts—let others draw their own conclusions. Such is a brief history of some of the motives and influences which have hastened the death of one candidate for Canal Commissioner—and made another. It will be seen how creditable they are to the Democratic party, or to the Slav How to remedy such evils, should be the serious thoUght of every voter. What measures can be adopted to b;;!-Ir our Convention system back to its original in tention--to express the wish of the public, is past our ability to ripose. But we hope to see something done--something shall redeem the Democratic party Irom the handy. of the lines, and the State from the greedy corinorai,:.2, who have fastened upon it, tot purposes of plunder. To Csantrwrzs.—The Democratic Convention which meets at this place, on Tuesday evening next, will have quite a number of names placed be. fore it, for nomination as candidates for the various offices. To prevent all misaprehension or mistake, we concluded to publish the scale of prices which we have for years charged candidates for printing tickets, and sending them into the various election districts viz:— Congress, $3O 00 As. Judge (each) $lO 00 Senator, 20 00 Commissioner, 8 .00 Rep . tative [each] 15 00 County Surveyor, 500 Sheriff, 25 00 Prosecuting Att'y, 5 00 Prothonotary, 20 00 Auditor. 5 00 Regist'r & Reeord'r 15 001Coronor, 3 00 Treasurer, 15 001 The printing of tickets for State Officers is a gra. luilous business, being done, as is much of our la. bor, for the good of gi the party." So also for eler. tors, tho' we are unable to see why the expense and labor shofild devolve entirely and necessarily upon the printer, and have a strong inclination to lease the matter for some of the interested parties who are hopefully looking for reward for their exertions. If any one is dissatisfied with our terms, they are at perfect liberty to procure their tickets elsewhere. POETRY RUN Mu !—The last 1110111r0Te Democrat contains a song "written for the Democratic Glee Club of Susquehanna,"and which is signed " W Towanda, Penn'a." We have not met will) its equal since we read John Gilpin and Old Grimes. The Glee Club which could master the whole thing, and survive, would at least be the death of their audi ence. If it was intended to poke fun at us, by charging the authorship here, we protest against it, as being too severe a joke to relish.

The Cincinnatti Price Current reports hogs in eve ry region of Kentucky and Indian as largely increa sing in numbers and of better quality. We hear but little from Illinois, lowa and Mis souri ; but. considering the scarcity of last season it is more than probable there will be an increase rather than a falling off, as we seldom have Iwo seasons of scarcity together. Throughout Ohio, we learn that more young hogs are being led than usual, and in many sections increase of one-third is anticipated. The high price of pork has caused the farmers throughout the West to bestow as much care and attention up. on their pigs as they do upon their , children Throughout many sections 01 the South, the Out. ers are making strong endeavors to it grow their own meat." We hear of contracts by the packets, for the to. lure delivery of some 20,000 hogs, to be fattened in Indiana, at 3 and 31 cents gruss Several thou sand have been engaged by Madison packers, for the next sea:on, at 4 and 4i cents net. We hear also of various contracts in Kentucky. at 3 and 3i cents gross, to be delivered when fattened in the fall. A pale of 1000 head has been made deliver ed hem at 4i cents. One of our principal provis ion dealers and packers sold 100 barrels of mess pork, on Monday, to be made of the next crop, and to be delivered in June, 1853, at Sl5 per barrel, which is $5 per barrel less than the present prices. The above we believe to be an accurate arid an impartial statement of the present condition of the forthcoming " hog crop," and we leave the reader to draw.his own conclusions in regard to the pros pect of the next season. However, we advise buy ers to be prudent in time, in regard to making con tracts for the next seasor.. This caution will be equally beneficial to the harmer ; for, if hogs are brought to ruinously high prices, the farmer becomes equally involved with the speculator when the re action takes place. THC TORNADO IN MAINe —A correspondent at the Congregationalists, writing from Brooke, Me, furnishes the following account of the severe lonia• do which occurred in that region on the 19th in Burnt: "The northern part of this (Waldo) county was visited with a tornado on Thursday last.. Its gene. ral course was to the southeast, but where it corn. mewed, or how far it extended, I have not yet learned. Its width seems to have been from three to five miles, though as a shower of rain it was much more than this. It was the most terrific storm ever witnessed here. It was dark, almost as night, with vivid lightning, and heavy thunder, rain and hail, which has wrought. fearful destruction to the crops and windows. In a ride of six miles I pass. ed in sight of six barns blown down, several oth. era unroofed, and two dwelling-houses nearly des troyed. On many firms the friweg, were nearly all prostrate, and fruit trees and large trees of me forest are uprooted. One man estimated the dam age done to bra orchard and pine timber lot at 32000. "The destruction was not uniform in the track of the destroyer ; sometimes you may see a field of grain or potatoes to all appearances totally de. &trued : near by, another in only partially destroy. ed Some farms and neighborhoods sustained but little injury, while on either side the crops were nearly destroyed ; some lines of fence were blown partly in one direction and partly in °pother. )1 would seem as though a sttffgale from the N.

W H Russell the proprietor of the establishment having discovered on reaching the wand that the back doer had been broken Open. and cottcluding that the store had been first robbed and then fired, with his neighbors in the morning instituted a search. Nothing which could give clue to the affair was to be discovered except the track of a waggon and 113,4 of a horse, the print of four naite prijec.ing troth the left side of one of the nind feat Levi Russell, Wm Perry, John B.
