canvass on fire, came floating like messengers
of death through the flames—the towers and

by the tempest into the common ruin. Thou- I

Before the next itie of our paper. the most
important political Campaign that the Democ
racy of Pennsylvaniadiave been called to take
part in for many yearls; will be opened by the
nominations of the ftltading Convention. So
far as a Chief armind whom to rally is concern.
cd, the question is already settled with sin
guhir unanimity, Wantilg only the formality of
a;,ballot that it may b 8 recognized as in ac-
crdatMc with democratic usages. Tim pe6-
pie have determined the matter and selected
the num in adianee, andl e a voice so unanimous
.and potential,. coming as — it does from the
heart of Pennsylvania Democracy, will not be
stilled till at the polls next Qctober, it shall
be determined that Wat. BIGLER'S': election is
consumnutted by an overwhelming majority.
Our . common political adversaries—the
Whigs—feel the truth of the above ,most for
-siblr, and are already preparing themselves for
a certain and complete overthrow. All kinds
of excuses are rnade,liaving reference to the
position of their party ? and measures that they
have sought to carry out, that have been press
ed upon the attention of the Legislature by
their Governor and Condemned, decidedly so,
by the RepreSentatives of the people. The
experience-of three years in
,governing the
State, during which time every important
measure put forth by them has been found
wanting before the umpire of a great people;
—has sorted to open'their eyes to the fact
that seemed to be lost sight of in the, rejoicing
occasioned by their success; viz, that their-tri
mph then was by no means owing toe desire'
on the part of the people for a change of rul
ers that involved a chafige of the principles on
which the government had long been-adminis
, tered ; neither was it tho result of a fair and
calm expression of the public will. Knowing
this, and feeling it too, it is no marvel to us
that they are ready and seem anxious to point
out causes, many of them trivial, that Rill con
duce to their defeat. - We are aware as well
as they, that they hriye in thl: field a cunning,'
avily political manag t er,—that Governor John
'
stun, who %till be their candidate, will bring to
bear in the I contest, a force of political in
trigue greater than any other man in the state.
Hence they cling to . him as a kind of rear
guard, %tato will manage to bring off their for
ces in as creditable a manner as possible, and l

We find in the Philadelphia Ledger the fof
lowing forcible exposition of the fallacy of the
prOtectionists theory, that high duties benefit
the consumer by. reducing the price of the pro
tected article. We commend it to the atten
tion of the consumers:
The producer has often been'told that pro
tection benefits him as much or mote than the
ennsuincr. and many well meaning men have
lent the assertion passive, acquiescence. This
doctrine, though it may mislead the simple, un
suspecting portion of the people, never de
ceives the bettor informed manufacturer, who
is accustomed to count closely the cost of erg
erything. - , The Manufacturers of Cotton and
woolen goods assure us that a further duty
uyim th'oso fabrics - would have the inevitable
tendency to cheapen the price,ast fairly swamp
us with facts in proof of their assertion. But
who hears of a woolen manufacturer asking
for a duty upon raw wool or upon madder, or
indigo, or of any other article of which ho is .a
consumer. Ile studionsly r avoids any praCtice
upon his own preaching. Like a wise doctor,
he takes care not to swallow nost rums.—
A , case in point was recently presented by
parties interested in the articles which form
the great interests of our own state. Some
southern colliers united their forces with the
iron miners in the same region to procure an
increase of protection for the two articles in
which they were respectively interested. A
most eloquent circular was prepared, in which
,theniefe*ttste*,tecting American Indus
try'-WaS -very , free presented. It has hoWer
er, already been driEOVered that the northern
manufacturers insist upon a division of the
question: They make iron and they can see
immense advantages resulting to the whole
country, to every Man woman and child in it,
from the duty upon iron; but they use coal,
and whilit they can get English coal under
low duty cheaper than that from Virginia,they
cannot see how-the-same principle applies to
this ; article. Does not this fact prove that, in
seeking an increase of duties, the manufactur=
ers look chiefly to their own interests; and
most unequivocally deny the position• assumed
that protection benefits the consumer? Whilst
the manufaCturers are ever acting on the doc
trine that prOtection enures wholly to the ben
efit of the producer, the theoretical supporters
of the AnsCrican system, remembering how
small is' the iproportion of producers whemthe
system proecets , compared with the. host of
consumers'whim it taxes, deny - the principle;
and. oblivious of th‘gyeat practical truth which
is the every day guide of business men, 'are
driven to support the ridiculous paradox that,
when the seller gets more the buyer pays less.
The country seems now generidly - prosperous
—all .the several interests are thriving, or may
thrive with diligence and economy, and it is to
be hoped that common sense may be allowed
i a little practical sway, to the exclusion of all
partisan detuag. i2 oqueism, that has long deran,g

Col. Wei. Bigler, Our Next Governor.
This gentleman, who will, in all human Fro
bability be the Demoratic nominee, and conse
quently the next Governor of this" State, says
the Bedford Gazelle, is in all respects, worthy_
of that responsible and dignified position. Of
jcommanding intellect, extensive experience in
the affairs of our State; and a true hearted and
unswerving Democrat, he is, pre-eminently
qualified to make an excellent Executive. Like
tile lamented Sousa, he is no less distinguish
ed for his unassuming manners and plain de-'
,
portnaent, than for his talents. We find the
following characteristic anecdote of him going I
the rounds of our Democratic exchanges. , It
was originally written by a correspondent: of
the Clinton Democrat:

THE TWO BROTHEIM-It is not many years
(says - the Pennsylvanian) since two • young;
men, without trteans,_ started "life.- They
were both brothers, and both printers, . Both
were Democrats. .Both subsequently aband
oned their professionafter having earned
public. confidence in. the editorial chair—and
since-then they have pursued almost the same
career, and, though resident in different States,
,seem to have gone together, filling nearly the
same public positions, and winning all hearts
by the gentle suavity .and steady consistency
of their character and conduct. Both are still
very youPg men ; and yet it is more than prob
able that both will in a few months rise to the
Gubernatorial Chairs of Pennsylvania, the Cal
ifornia of the Atlantic, and California, the
Pennsylvania of the Pacific. The brothers al
luded to, are ItuziAn and Jona Brotin; now
the conceded favorites for the highest honors
of their respective States, and the adulated
choice of the Democratic party in each. The
parallel will no doubt be completed when each
is,.as each will be, chosen - to fill the posts for
i which they are candidates. Their past history .
is a guarantee that they will go on, with equal
march, and unfaltering devotion, in the fulfil
-1 ment of their high duties.
There is in this picture much of encourage
ment to the poor young man. Both .of these
Brothers BIGLER started in life without Money,
and almost without friends. No academic
honors croWned their earlier manhood—no
luxurious habits enervated their frames—no
wealthy friends encouraged their-first essays
in life. In the battle of the world, they fought
with no weapons but those furnished by .their
own indomitable energies. In the struggles
for subsistence, they gleaned more knowledge
from men than from, books; while in the ac
quisition of money, came also the golden
opinions of troops of friends. Let the young
,man, who would despond-over his own future,
take heartfionr - this example, anddry to imitate
the two brothers.
