Price five cents. Pennsylvania. For several years past the whig party have been in the ascendancy in this State, hut the indications of. the present campaign arc most against its 1 success at the approaching election. The course of Gov. Johnston upon the compro mise measures has been strongly censured by | many, of his own party, and there seems to exist, | in several ports of the State, an apathy on the ; part of thfSVhigs, which will have a serious ef- i feet open the prospect of that party. In his ; message to the Legislature, Gov. Johnston coun- 1 selled a faithful observance of the compromise measures; but his subsequent action was a most embittered opposition. There is very little doubt but a majority of of tho people of Pennsylvania are conservative in their views, and dosiro an end of the subjects of. agitation, which constant ly look to tho perpetutity of the confederacy. Col. Bigler, the candidate of the democratic par ty, in his recent letters, has announced his deter mination to abide by and support nil the mea sures of the compromise, and the provisions of the constitution. The whig party contains among its members some of the most prominent politicians of the State, who are opposed to Gov. Johnston, which will add to the probability of the. success of Col. Bigler. There is every reason: now to suppose that Col. Bigler will be the successful candidate. —Nero York Herald. Suoh is the opinion of a disinterested spccta- i for. That Cok Bigler will be elected Governor, i over thp present incumbent, by an overwhelm- i mg majority, is admitted by every hone3t and candid man, it.matters not to what party he be- 1 longs. Gov, Johnston has lost the confidence of a large and inftnOntial portion of the Whig par ty, in conßequenoo-of his truckling to the Abo litionists and. Natives. The patriotic Whigs,— those who love our glorious Union, and despise treason and traitors, bigot 3 and persecutors, will not vote for such a small beer politician as Wm. F. Johnston: • By electing Col. Bigler Gov ernor, the people of Pennsylvania have ample guaranty that the lows of the State and of the Union will be faithfully oxccnted; and the citi zens of other states will respect and honor our good old commonwealth. That our readers may know something about public opinion in Massachusetts as well as in New York, respecting the contest in Pennsylva nia, we make the following extract from a letter written by a Boston correspondent of the Phila delphia Ledger: Mr: Bigler’s letter on the sabjeot of-the Com promise and the’Fugitive Slave .Law, has, given great satisfaction to the-'Law and Order .men in this city, and the friends .of Mr,..Webster openly repudiate Gov. Johnston-airhis “anti-national” position. Thiß is -history—not speculation. ltem*mber,yotcrs of Pennsylvania, That Gov. Johnston was in the Legislature in 1841, and voted for a law. allowing the Banks to refute to pay then- debts for five years, while these institutions were allowed to distress the people for their claims! Remember, also, that - Col. Bigler was a mem ber of the Senate in 1842, and voted for a law requiring the banks to resume specie payments —in other words, the payments of their debts —and a law to exempt the people from levy and execution in the mean time.

ANOTHER TERRIFIC STORM LOSS OF PROPERTY AND LIVES On Saturday last n most terrific storm and hurricane passed over tho States of New York, Connecticut, &c., which destroyed an immense amount of property. 1 Tho Syracuse £N. Y.j Journal 3tates that a destructive storm passed over the northern part of that county, from half to a milo in width, in a southeasterly direction, prostrating shade, apple nnd forest trees in large numbers, and doing considerable damage to buildings and fences. In Westchester county, in tho same State, tho storm was very severe in its effects. The lights were shattered in many dwellings, and scarcely a single pane was left in that of Mr. Alan Secor, who also experience! much other damage in the uprootiug ot fruit and other trees. A largo chestnut treo, on this gentleman’s estate, was blown down, killing several cows that had soagbt its shelter from tho storm. Mr. H. 0. i Nelson, a wealthy farmer, had jnst finished hay ing as tho storm arose; when it had passed, there was scarcely a single stack of hay loft | standing; many fields of corn, too, were very I much injured. Tho rain, however, was so mod erate in quantity, as to afford little relief from tho drought, which seriously affects the crops of potatoes, buckwheat and corn. The Hartford Times devotes a column nnd a halftoadescription of the disastrouscffects ofthc storm in that vicinity. Houses and bams were un roofed and blown down—.fruit and forest trees were uprooted—tobacco crops were destroyed,— windows were broken, and cattle killed. In the vicinity of Springfield the storm was very severe. The lightning was terrific. The house of Mr. E. Coomes, brick-rnnkSr on the hill, was Btruck, and a Frenchman uamod Louis Lord was killed. Ho was 111 years of age, and employed by Mr. C. Another Frenchman in tho same room was knocked down. A woman in tho room below, had her shoes ripped off, and she was much affected by the electricity. The house of Mr. Geo. Kibbo, was also struck. The light ning also struck the bora of a Mr. Stephens in Holyoke. It was burnt, consuming two horses, his stock of liay, graiu, Ac. - , tho fire communi i cated with his dwelling house, and burnt that also. Prospects of the Cotton Crop* Tho Darlington, (Ala.,) Flay, says that tho crops throughout that district, arc unusually fine, and that Mr. Nathan Galloway, m the neigh borhood, of MountElon, had one-eighthof on aero of ootton open on the 25tli ult., which was en tirely freo from rust, or disease of any kind. Other accounts from the South are not so en couraging- A New Orleans cotton merchant is of tho opinion that it will be impossible to mako more than four fifths of the usual or average up land crop; and as three-fourths of tho entire crop of tho Dnitod States are derived from up land sources, tho ultimate extent of the produc tion can easily be prognosticated. He says:— The best that can be expected of tho upland re gions of Tennessee, North Alabama, Western Louisiana, Mississippi and Georgia, is a crop twenty per cent, less than last year, while over the lowland, an alluvial cotton region, hangs the i contingency of a fine or foul autumn, and a long or a short season. Warren County In the Field* The Democracy of Warren county met in Con vention, on tho 9th inst., for tho purposeof put ting in nomination candidates to be supported at the ensuing election. E. C. Stacey, Esq., was President. The following ticket was placed in nomina- tion, viz Assembly —Joseph Y. James ; Associate Judges —Lewis Arnett, John Jud- Commissioner —Orrin nook; Prothonotary —Rufus P. King; Recorder —Thomas Clemons, Auditor —William H. Shortt. Amongst the resolutions passed by the Con vention, we select the following. Resolved, That the Union can only be preserv ed by maintaining unimpaired all the provisions of the Constitution with all its compromises, and that any attempt to evade its requirements has a direct tendency to weaken the bonds which ce ments ua together, and is deserving of the se verest censure. Resolved, That we cordially approve of tho nomination of Col. Wm. Bigler by the Reading Convention, as the Democratic candidate for Govcrnon. His unanimous nomination and wide spread'popularity, and past political history, are sufficient 1 evidences to us thnt he is pre-eminent ly qualified for the high post of honor which awaits him. ResoVved, That we have the fullest confidence in the integrity, capacity and Unwavering De mocracy of Gen. Seth Clover, the Democratio candidate for Canal Commissioner. His imme diate neighbors will manifest their appreciation of his worth by inorcased majorities in October next. Resolved, That the selection of candidates for the Supreme Bench by the Harrisburg Conven tion, shows that that body were desirous of put ting such candidates in nomination as were dis tinguished for their learning, ability, and worth,• nnd men calculated to give dignity nnd charac ter to the station for which they are designat- Such.a selection ought and'will be sus tained. ■ ■ Resolved, That we have undiminißhed confi dence in the patriotism,, integrity and capacity of the Hon. James Bnchanan, Pennsylvania's favorite son—that his high character as a States man, and his distinguished services in the Sen [ ate and Cabinet entitle him to the honor of Dem l oqratio standard bearer in the campaign in 1852 i&s titefiesMtonoy. ■ * .-, ? • > - V,ll ■ r ' ,V V * • ' \ «a " . **«■'(• * * . » -♦ N *, 5 -- «.«*/*•** * - *<*>*, *« ‘ .■ vV •;<. .1 ' ; V:-. y. ■,^ v -* ’‘ ; ~ **: '• “ i ■‘■■.’l r. From the New York Hi raid Kentneb y Eleotlqn-The Ashland or Lex ington District Democratic. This district,-AYhicb so long was represented by Henry Clayrh CongrfflS, has, for the first time, now elected a democrat, (John C. Brock enridge,) who is represented as a gentleman of alendid talents and estimable private character. This gave thim a great advantage in popularity over Leslie Combß, the whig candidate, who, although he has never been a member of Con gress, is considered a baokneye'd and worn-out. politician, however much he is esteemed in pri vate life. The Louisville Journal (whig) says: “We suppose'the"democrats must be almost as much astonished as the Whigs at seeing Mr. Breckenridgo (democrat) elected over General Combs, in the Lexington district, by a majority of about COO. Gen. Combs was personally dis liked by many of ;the whigs, and Mr. Brocken ridge is personally popular with men of. all par ties.” This congressional distrust, when represented by Mr. Clay, was composed of the counties of Clark, Fayette and Woodford.. In 1881,. Frank lin county was added ‘to the district, and since 1842 it has consisted of Fayette, Bourbon, Franklin, Woodford, Jessamine Owen and Scott, Clark county being transferred to another dis trict ■ ■ In 1826 Mr. Clay being appointed Secretary of State, was succeeded, as representative for the district by Jodgo Clark, a personal friend of Mr. Clay, who being elected by a.majority of. 976, it was considered by this test that the peo ple of Mr. Clay’s district approved of his course m voting for John Quincy Adamß as President of the United States. 16 W. moj 62 The following is the succession of represen tatives from the Ashland district: Years.

Mar shall, who hod proved rather a wayward whig From the New York Alins. Mr. James Buchanan—The Presidency- Mr. Buchanan is at the head of the democra cy of the Union. There is not a legitimate dem ocrat in the United States who does not honor and respect him; ond, we are confident that there is not a tutiiCh of nny consideration, who will not confide in him, or refuse to extend to him an independent ondhonornblo suffrage; Wo know, that a “good deal,” and a “ great deal more,” has been said and written in refer ence to the duty a candidate for. office owes to his constituents; and we also know that, it has been said that Mr. Buchanan is cold, forbidding, and aristocratic in his temperament. Whoever has entertained a belief savoring of the kind, is but ltltlo informed in reference to the history of the man. In all the relations of life he has held, his been such as to win the approbation of every honest heart. In the career lie has witnessed, he has proved him self equal to any task; and, we stand self-assur ed that, he wiU retain through life, the confi dence and respect of the American people.— There is not a man in the world, who is more pre-eminently entitled to the consideration of every class of society. It is note almost too early in the day to dis cuss the question of tho succession; “and, wc know it-" But, tho day is rapidly approaching when the election for the “succession” will take place; and why, should we hesitate i We shall not hesitate at Oil! And we do not, when wc ex press tho firm conviction, that Mr. Buchanan will not only bo the candidate of tbe democratic party of the Union, but that he will be eleeltd President of the United States. Wo state those facta on the basis of what wo know; and, are quite sure that we shall not bo disappointed; or; bosotdown, os false prophets. The democracy of the United States should unite at once; and; wo do not doubt it will do so, if it entertains a hope of success. It should choose but one candidate for. the succession ; and, it trill have but one, if it studios its own interest;— And that candidate should bo Mr. Buchanan. Wo do not suppose that any man—any democratic candidate—can carry the State of Kow fork.; The electoral vote of this State ism the hands of our friend, Governor Seward, and he will hold it. Therefore, the democrat who can he elected by the voice of the people, tnustdepend on those states which remain otgside of ** ~—Aagieis *»d Maine It is quito too coo o’to calculate tbo chances of success; but, what, if we compile a table of tbo political college for ourselves “ anil tbe succa sion"—or for the successors of the paltry ad ministration ! If the democratic party unite— and Unite it it cannot afford to be out of power, it will, beyond the shadow of a doubt, recetvo'every vote that was accorded to Jamies K. Polk, with the exception of that of the stato of New York, provided. Mr. Buchanan is its nominee. And how will the case then stand ? It must bo recollected, that with any other candi date but the son of Pennsylvania, the “calcula tion will not remain good. In the contingency referred to, the democratic candidate will toko the following electoral vote:—Maine, New Hamp shire, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Louisiana, Mississippi, Indiana, Illi nois, Alabama, Missouri, Arkansas, Michigan, Texas, Florida, and California. In this enume ration, we cast aside New York and South Caro lina, and all the Now Kngland States, with the exception of Maino and New Hampshire. We may take from this estimate tbo votes of Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Delaware aid Maryland, and still elect Mr. Buchanan by a very decided majority. And, with this prospect before them, is there any reason why the demo cratic party should not act together os an unit, and elect its candidate ? Mr. Buchanan, of all tucn, thUB far spoken of, is the: candidate for the succession. And, al though wo do not profess to be scholars of the "rampant school,” and do not mean to say who should be the candidate of all, we shall insist, that if the democracy of the United States hope or exp® o4 40 regain possession of the goverment, he is the only man who will enable them to ob tain their object. He will, at the very outset, wo repeat, for the hundredth time, commence his battle under the banner and-support of the great State.of Pennsylvania. He stands well with thesouth—his entire political history .is ac ceptable to that portion of the Uifion, and it will readily embrace him. And why? Because his votes and his speeches, in reference to the claim ed rights of the south have always been consis tent-coincident with the constitution and state rights, and neither “new fangled," fantastical, or intended to catoh the “sweet voices,” of excited:cormorant millions. It will not do for the demooraoy according to the doctrines of Mr. Jefferson and GeneralJaok son, to be out of power, at a junoture like this. It will not do for them to suffer the “succes sion” to fall into the hands of their opponents. They.cannot afford it; andihey are too old and too wise to submit the result to the United States Houso of Representatives. If they Suffer it to go to that body for arbitrament, they will be bamboozled and swindled. General Cass stands before the party and the country, a twice defeated candidate. He can not hope or expect sucoessin any contingency. And, beside all that, he is too old, t 0 be un again; ; lAnd, independently of every other con- Bideratiou, he has no capital to “start with.” It is even doubtini if he could obtain the vote of Michigan. New York is forever closed against him; so is New England; and, if he: were nomi nated, Pennsylvania would go to General Scott, or' whoever the whig candidate may be. With, then, all these prospects in fall view— with fortune and power beckoning the democra cy to take possession of the government, why should ahy one, who is of that party, hesitate to adopt Mr. James Buchanan as the democratic candidate of the American, people? Kevoltuiq Moedee.— Summary Punishment of the Murderer.—the Savannah Georgian gives the following extract of a letter, dated Tooms boro, Wilkinson county, August 3: “On Tuesday last a negro man, belonging to a Mr. Harvey Kiel, residing in this county, vio lated the! persons of and afterwards murdered his mistress and her sister, Miss Mason, whilst they were washing at a spring near the house. He then stole a horse and attempted ,to escape, but was Iso closely pursued by some of Mr. Kiel’s neighbors, that he had to leave the horse and take the river swamps.' Several citizens of the county turnedout to search for the murder er and succeeded in arresting him at 11 o’clock on Tuesday night They then tied him to a ; stake and burned him to death. 1 pherailfoad between Cairo and Alexandria is tobe carried on, and will probably be completed in two yeMa and a halE -V- V*-'?* 'irk V : ■' The nomination. f * r t s “ •Ti'r Scribbling* and Clippings.

The Democrats of the Third Congressional District'; of Maryland,' composed of Baltimore, Carroll, &c., hare re-nominated Hon. Edward liammond. Major Ileiss, formerly of the Washington Union, has become proprietor of the New Or leans Delta. Louis James Daguerre, whose great invention has familiarized his name throughout the civili zed world, in early life gained considerable no toriety by the skill and effect with which he got up theatrical stage decorations. He was a scene painter of extraordinary merit. There is a report that. an. extensive dry goods I house in Market street, Philadelphia, has Sus pended payments.

Mr. Healy has arrived atßoston from France, with his painting of Mr. Webster on the floor of the United States Senate, in the act of replying to Mr. Hayne. Mr. Healy has devoted many years of labor to this work, and will have it ready for exhibition in the course of one or two weeks. The Boston Evening Gazette has a compositor who has been setting type for it since 1817, a period of thirty-four years, but who has not du ring the whole of that time been beyond a milo from the state house. He entered a rail car for the first time, last Monday. It is said that MTIe Eachel, the French trage dienne,, has entirely disposed oflier future pro fessional career to aa English speculator who design'3 to take her to America. Nor.ru Cakolina.—Wo are gratified to learn that the Hon. W. S. Ashe, an uncompromising democrat, lias been re-elected to Congress in the Wilmington district, North Carolina, by an over whelming majority. Indeed, there was no regu lar opposition to the election of Mr. Ashe. It appears that Mr. Winslow, a decided democrat, was voted for by a portion of the wbigs, with a view to diminish Mr. Ashe's vote. But we are authorized to say that Mr. Winslow was placed in the field without his knowledge or consent, was voted for against his expressed wishes, and that he was in favor of tho election of the regu lar democratic candidate. ’ Colored Population in New Jbbsbv. —This State has a largor colored population; in pro portion to its size and white people, than any other of tho free States; and more than half of all the free colored population in the Union arc to tie found in the five Middle States, Nctr York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Mary land. The three adjoining States, Virginia, North Carolina, and Ohio, contain over-100,000 for the other twenty-two States, there being comparatively very few free negroes in the East ern or Western States. —Nan Turk Tribune. Tobacco in Pennsylvania. —Many of the cultivators in this State, especially in Lancaster county, as wo team from the Pennsylvania Farm er, havo gone into the raising of tobacco. The most oxtravogant rents have been paid for land for this purposo. The present indications are, that the coming crop will not bo an average one, and consequently there must be heavy losses to tho growers. With a few exceptions, the fields, give poor promise of a good yield. Peaches are very conducive to health.— Dr. Stone, of Louisiana, says in fever they are invaluable. In his opinion, plenty of peach or chards are worth a thousand quarantines for the public health. 44 No inore scurvy,” says the doctor. “Eat stewedpeachesif you would keep off indigestion.” This is interesting fo peach venders, and they ought not to put per cent, additional on the price of their commodity in consequence of the information. Table Delicacy.-— A Honolulu correspondent of the Alta Califomxa f noticing preparations for the celebration of the hinges birthday, thus al ludes to some of the delicacies on that occasion: “ Some unfortunate dogs were being • scalded and scraped close by my residence; on inquiry, it appeared that they were destined for the palace.” - £sy*Thero has never perhaps been a medicine before the public so well deserving their confi dence and patronage as Ayer's Chert/ Pectoral.

It would be just as reasonable to expect a rich crop from ii barren soil, as that strong and healthy children should be born of parents whose constitutions have been worn out with intemperance and! disease. A sickly frame may : be originally induced by hardships, accidents r or intem perance,but chiefly by the: latter. It w impossible that a coarse of vice or imprudence should not spoil the best constitution; and did the evil terminate here; it would be a Justpunisbmenl for the folly of the transgressor . But not so For when once disease is-contracted, and through neglect in applying the proper meansu becomes rivitea in the habit, ii is then entailed upon posterity.— Female constitutions are as capable :of improvement as family estates—and ye who would wish to improve, not only your own health, butthatofyour own offspring,by eradicating the many distressing daseasestliatareentau ed through neglect or imprudence, loae: no time: m pirn fyipg the bloou and cleansing the system.. ; Married, pex sous, and those about to be married, should, not faxl to. purity their blood, for how many diseases are, transmit ted to posterity.
