ZOILLWAED, of Philadelphia. FOR JLOOKS OF TUB SUL'RKAK COCBT, JOSEPH J. LEWIS, of Chester Co JAMES VEECH, of Fayette County. GEN. PACKER BACKS DOWN ! Last week we published a letter from lion. D. WII.MOT addressed to (Jen. PACKER inviting him to canvass the State in company, to which, at the date of our publication, an answer had uot been received. Since that titue a letter has been received from (ten PACKER declin ing the invitation. We republish Mr. WIL MOT'S ehalleuge aud also the answer : TOWASOA, July 14. IKS7. HON. WM. F. PACKER : DEAR SIR—I purpose to spend some time during tlie Summer and Fall, in canvassing; before the people of the State, the principles and issues involved in the pending State election. Party meetings bring ont only that portion of the peo ple to whom the call is made, and the addresses are nec essarily all on one side ; whereas it is desirable that the whole people, so far as may he. should have both sides fairly presented before them at the same time. If it should meet yonr views, I propose that we can vass so much of the State as is practicable, in company, addressing alternately the same meetings. Should this meet your assent, please so inform me at your earliest convenience, so that we'may arrange the times and pla ces of meetings, order of speaking, Ac., Ac, Wry respectf illy, Your obedient servant, 1). WILMOT. WILLIAM SPORT. Pa., July 27,1857. HON. D. WII.MOT: Dear Sir Your letter of the 14tli inst. was duly :e --ceived. and. as it proposed a plan for conducting the Gu bernatorial campaign which had never hitherto been adopted in Pennsylvania, and. as the interests of olhe candidates were involved in the result. T did not feel at liiierty to accede to yonr projwsition without tir-t consult ing thefState Committee to whiuh the Democratic Con vention had on its part specially confided the control and management of the canvass. You will receive herewith a copy of my letter to the Committee, and also of their reply, by which you will perceive that your suggestion does not meet their appro val ; and that, for reasons stated at length. 1 ought not, in the opinion of the Committee, " to accede to your pro position." It is therefore respectfully declined. I am, Yours trnlr, WM. F. PACKER. llv this it will be seen that Gen. PACKER attempts to shift the responsibility of declin ing; the fair and liberal proposition made by Mr. WIRMOT, upon the Democratic State Com mittee, for frivolous and unsatisfactory rea sons, and to evade the odium which a direct " back out " from himself would necessarily briug. The State Committee having the task im jHised 011 them of devising excuses for the non acceptance of Mr. WII.MOT'S proposition to dis cuss before the people of the State the issnes involved iu the pending contest, have set forth a number of reasons which are too shallow aud frivolous to require comment. Firstly they assume that Mr. WM.MOT" pro bably proposes to discuss the Slavery ques tion," while his proposition is to discuss " the issues involved in the pending contest ." Hav ing thus set out with an unwarranted assump tion, they say that a joint canvass by candi dates for the Gubernatorial office has never been conducted in this State, nor in any other Northern one, and may well be questioned on grounds of public policy. The propriety of executive candidates appearing before the pub lic at all is also doubted. While they depre cate a joint canvass, they fear if once adopt ed, a bad practice Will continue hereafter to be followed ! and may sometimes deprive par ties of candidates similar to FRAN Ki.ix, Sxv okii and Sm/NK, because they are not orators. They also say that while Mr. WII.MOT holjs the office of President Judge there is special objection to ttie acceptance of his project.— What that special objeetiou is, is not made known. Hut the Committee as if to make it more emphatic, declare that a resignation will not altogether remove the objection ! The proposed mode of conducting campaigns, in the opinion of the Committee, may possibly be suited to some of the Southern and South western states, where it has been practiced and where " population and political condi tions ' differ from ours, but its introduction bore, would be against solid objections and without any conceivable good. It is there fore a proposed " Southern aggression " upon the practices and policy of parties in Pennsyl vania, which cannot at ali be accepted or per mitted. Sueh is the substance of the excuses, fram ed by the Democratic State Committee, to re lieve their candidate for Governor from the proposition to discuss before the people of the State the issues involved in the pending con test. Excuses which arc the result of delibe ration and consultation. That they will satis fy the public mind, we do not believe. In deed, we know that they are regarded as un satisfactory and humiliating by many of Gen. PACKER'S friends. A joint canvass by the opposing candidates for Governor, has been expected and desired by the friends of each. Such a course would have been in opposition to no public feeling, bnt rather-in accordance with general inclination and approbation. The candidates of the two posing parties are universally regarded as the Lest debaters nod most jpopular speakers in the Jt ti (though with miich truth we csnot jay) that Gen, PAveution of Superintendents lately held at Rending, the earnest request of the head of the School Department, was that County Superintendents direct most of their efforts during the coming autumn to the orga nization and conducting of such drills in their several comities, as is contemplated iu the ad vertisement referred to °.t tlie commencement ofJius articlij . ~i Hie publication of the Elmira Daily" (7fcjtdtffi&ssteii suspended, after one year's 'exieteuee, forfche reason that it did,. not pay expenses.

Its resumption however, we opine, will depend upon the ability and inclination of RHODES to publish it at a pecuniary sacrifice, because the expenses incident to a daily pajier Tcqnire u targe amoout-of-patronage to reim burse, such Us can only be had in larger cities. — 1 • — v jjWe have now every prospect for a Bridge across the Susquehanna at this place at no distant period. The energetic contrac tors already have the timber mostly framed, and are putting up "false works," and erecting the first span. It is now nearly three years since the Bridge was destroyed by fire, and during that time great inconvenience has been experienced from its Toss. It is being built anew and the piers raised several feet, to place it beyond daugef from floods. Possibly but a few weeks will elapse before it will be passable for foot jkLSsetigera. THE MAIN* LIVE. —On Saturday last, the Pennsylvania Railroad Company took posses sion of the Main Line of the Public Works of the State. The Governor has issued his proc lamation to "the superintendents, toll col lectors, officers and agents of the Common wealth," announcing the transfer, but informing them that they would retain their situations at the expense of the company until removed or re-appointed," and that their official bonds will ensure to the use of the company. gQy-The Indian trouides in the Northwest are not likely to be ended immediately. It is reported that 10.000 Indians are in arms, de fying the United States troops, and that the settlers are flying to the forts for protection. A renewal of hostilities is unavoidable, though Governor Medary, of Minnesota, is doing all in his power to preserve the pcaee. The Se cretary of War lias refused the request of Governor Medary for arms and volunteers, which occasions some excitement in view of the imminence of the danger. teg" Rev. Mr. SUTHERLAND, of the MetW dist Church, in this place preached his fare well sermon, on Sunday morning last. Under the itinerary system, he lias been appointed to , another Church. He will take with Lira the universal respect and best wishes of our cith zcus. GEN. WM. IT. MILI.ER, well known to many | of oar citizens, Las received the appointment of Consul at Trinidad de Cuba. We are in doubt as to the propriety of congratulating him upon , his selection for a post so much inferior to his abilities and deserts. tea*"- RAILROAD FARES.— The fare on the New York and Erie Railroad has been put up to the old rates between New York and Dunkirk, Buffalo and Niagara Falls. The coupon tickets of the New York and Krie are now received on other roads, as formerly. GEN. .1 PORTER BRAWLEV, it is stated, lias accepted the place of Sixth Auditor of the Treasury, at the personal request of President Buchanan. tea?" At a meeting of the Fire Department of this borough, held on Saturday evening last, E. O. GOODRICH was uuauiniously elect ed Chief Engineer. teg" The expenses of the corporation of Kl mira, for the currcut year, are estimated at $13,700. How THE GOVERNMENT HELPS THE FILI.I BL'STEBS. —Gen. Wool, who had command of the California division of the United States forces during the Pierce Administration, ex plains how the the Government, while pretend ing to great vigilance in support of the neu trality laws, yet contrives to facilitate the movements of the lillibusters. Gen. Wool, act ing on the assumption tiiat his instructions to that effect were given to be obeyed, and that President Pierce's proclamation directing " all officers of the Government, civil and military, to use any efforts which may be in their power to arrest for trial and punishment'' any persons engaged in fitting out arm d exj e litions to foreigu countries, was given in good faith, caus ed the arrest and conviction of certain parties employed in enlisting recruits for Walker, who was then in Lower California, of which he had taken possession, and proclaimed himself Pres ident ; and in consequence of this disappoint ment in the failure of his supplies Walker was driven out of the Mexican Territory. The Secretary of War (Jeff. Davis,) instead of commending the General for his vigilance, promptly subdued him theiefor and told him that it was not expected or desired of him that lie should originate arrests and prosecutions, but only that he should support the civil pow er when called upon so to do. The officers in the civil department understood that the proclamations against the fillibusters were in tended as a cheat, and therefore took no uotiee of them ; while Gen. Wool was kept from in terfering by Jeff. Davis's special instructions. This explains how the scoundrel Walker was enabled to organize his Xicaraguan expidition openly, without interference from United States authorities. TOM IIYER BEATEN. —Tom llyer was whip ped on Monday morning at Washington, by Tom Hunter, of Georgetown, D. C. It was said to have been a fair fight, and a cotempo rary says that it is a pity that they had not killed each other, llyer's defeat will excite some interest among the spirting fraternity, following so soon after that of his contempora ry the Champion of England, tho " Tipton tSlaslicr."
