' On the tenth ofOctobcrjyou will be called upon to vote for a Governor, ol Pennsylvania, ft: Canal Commissioner, and members of Onr State Legislature. All those officers can exercise an important influ ence, in affecting the conditions, upon which the em igrant from a land of tyranny and oppression, shall become fixed upon our shores: find each one oftho candidates for these offices,supported by the Federal “ Whig ” party* is allied to those who ore solemn ly sworn to: excludo from citizenship, as soon as they shall secure the power, evory man who was born under another government. Wiuiau F. JOHNsrot?, the Federal-candidate for Governor of this State,-was nominated for that high office, almost exclusively on account of his capacity to secure the •entire vote ofthat party, which is the .sworn enemy of the Irishman* the Scotchman, the Welshman, and the German. - The Federal party had long ago bar gained with the Notices, to give them some import i ant officer, if they would but sustain the “ Wbiga ” i fora short time; and they have redeemed the plodge? i thoy have presented Taylor, for. President,-—who was first nominated by the Native General Conten tion $ they have nominated-Fillmore, Native and Abolitionist, for Vice President Johnston, for Gov ernor.; Middlcswarth for Canal Commissioner;.and have apportioned the other officers to be chosen, among the Natives and ' Abolitionists, in,such a manner as to secure, as they think, a certain victory. There can be no deception in the arrangement that‘has been made. It is so: plain that no man, possessed of a spark of intelligence, could, for .a moment permit himself to question the full and cn. tire transfer of Federal, influence totho Native and Abolition factions. Wc therefore urge it upon eve rj man, who has fled from; oppression in Europe, and wishes to secure for himself and his children the blessings of rational liberty; to mark these trai tors to the Constitution ; and exert all tho influence be in aoy manner possesses,’ (o drive them from pow* er in those parts of tho State where they possess it; and forbid thoir attaining to power in any quarter where they, are now striving for it. Rcery voter should feel that it is his own particular business to .do so. ■■ ' Ths Dirty Party Hoaxed* ' The Washington Union has a long letter from Alabama, (as we learn from..the-Baltimore Sun,) showing that a most successful but shameful hoax has been played off opan John Van Duren, Esq., in tho invitation from Gaincsnllo to a free soil dinner, tobe given on the 22d of October. The New York Post and Mr. V. B. had both made considerable pa rade at the North of this evidence of the “ earnest ness and frankness” of the free, soil party, at ,the South. The names signed to theietter of invitation, are those of a man id the penitentiary, forJi/o, a rogue in jail, and another “free” ar.d easy fellow now takfhgtbq.** largest liberty” in parts unknown. •The authors of.tho hoax are said to be the same brace of friendly gentlemen, who, some four ysars ago, favored with an account of the large and enthusiastic meeting held by some of the resuscitated heroes of Bulwet’s novels* m the town of Gainesville, in honor of the administration of President Tyler. Van Burcn, however, declined the invitation, and of/course .the dinner will not come off—no how. , Banlc OLvldenda. Notwithstanding the cry of‘‘ hard times,” a® often heard from Federal orator# and editors., there seems to he astrange state of/oc/s, going to prose that all this cry is the.practised noto of deteption— that there is no truth in it; andi that thoso who make it, know that there is po truth in it. .The various branches of mechanical -business are all active; agricultural produce rs bearing s reasonably good price ; the products of our artisans generally are m demand, at fair, living prices: and, last to : be thought of, is the profitfl on bankiDg j .ood wc find thot these are far from being discouraging to the atockholdcri Astatement of the dividends of twen ty-Bix of the Bank* 'of Boston, shows that the entire Increase of their profits, for the last six months, up to the first Instant, is s22,7oo—and on average for each of the 26 banks of nearly :/our per cent, per annum. ■ Why donH he Reitgut The federal Editors are very uneasy because Mounts Losojtbxtu has not thought proper to re sign the office of Canal Commissioner. . As this is an office which requires the persona) otteution .of the incumbent to perform its duties, and as the interests of the Commonwealth must not be neglected; even in “revolutionary times,’? there is no necessity whatever imposed upon Mr. Longstrcth to resign.—. Bat, we would ask these 'federal -grumblers, why. Zachary Taylor, their candidate for the Presidency, does not resign his Generalship in the army, .which is now a mero sinecure, without any labor or res ponsibility imposed upon him, as the country is now at peace with all the world ? Answer that, yc pinks of consistency !

Hibernia, was for two years afflicted with paraplegia, or a complete paralysis of his low er members. In this condition he suffered extreme pains, yet such was hit uu&lrated scientific ardor and intellectual power that he continued to read ail the philosophical papers that appeared and to analyze and criticise them with, the, profound ability which characterised bis prime. Every day ho caused him self to be brought out and seated on a. chair, where he pursued his studies or lectured ilia pupils. His wife manifested tho'most devoted attachment to him to the last. Not a word oT complaint over escaped his lips on account of bis sufferings.. Sweden is in national mourning for hum-. • for the. JUornwg Post. . Pittsburgh Jntereiit—Weslern Travel and UniHteai.
