OCR COIfNTYNOMINATIONS.
From tho proceedings of the Democratic I
County Convention, which .will be found at I
length in our columns to-day, it will bo seen j
that our friends have nominated a full County I
Ticket; and when .wo say that it is a truly I
strong and popular-ticket, we believe wo express I
the sentiment of almost every Democrat, and of I
no inconsiderable number of our opponents.
The fact is, that, owing to peculiar circumstan
ces, affecting a portion of the ticket chosen by !
our opponents, we expect to gain a considerable
number of Whig votes for our ticket.
The entire series of resolutions waß passed
with most cheering unanimity; but when the
Convention came to act upon.• those declaring
Mr. Buchanan as the choice of the Democracy
of Allegheny for the Presidency, the evidences
. of true respect and devotion to that great man
were altogether unmistakeable ; and the enthu
siasm with which his name was received, actu
ally exceeded our expectations—confident and
sanguine as we have ewer been on this point.
On the whole, this Convention will long be re
membered, as one of the most pleasing events
in the political history of Allegheny county.
THE GREAT SCOTT CONTENTION OF
WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA. ~
This is the name given to the meeting which ]
took place yesterday, sevural weeks before the I
demonstration took place. A great deal of extra I
drumming had been resorted to; the most patri- I
otic and even pathetio appeals were made to all I
Whigs of every condition and avocation, and to I
all others (they might have said who wanted to ]
moke fools of themselves,) to come out to-day, |
and prove their devotion to Whiggeiy. But the I
patriotic and soul-stirring appeals were almost |
entirely ioßt. Some twenty or thirty men living 1
out of Allegheny Connty came forward in an- I
swer to the call; but of all the heroes of 1812 I
< and the war with Mexico; of all the . mechanics I
from their workshops and manufacturers from I
their looms; of all tho merchants from their I
counting houses and all others from their differ-1
ent avocations who were so imploringly, called I
upon to attend this great Convention, and show ]
the immense popularity of Winfield Scott and |
Wm. F. Johnston, not exceeding jive hundred (if J
So many,) could be got together to hear tho as-1
tounding eloquence that-was Teady, at any mo-1
ment, to break forth upon their ears. J
This groat Scott Convention of Western Penn- |
sylvnnia was, indeed, one of the - meanest and I
most meagre demonstrations that we have ever I
witnessed; but we wonder not at it. The wire- ]
workers in the affair, tried to get up a great I
demonstration in favor of Johnston, and they I
thought the name of Scott might help the thing
to “draw;" but it would not do. Either the
name of Scott itself is like throwing cold water
on any similar matter, or tho Peoplo saw at once
through the design of the original movers, and j
at once determined that they would not lend I
themselves to a scheme so little m accordance I
with their real views, . Governor Johnston’s re* I
ception wns a cool one, and his stay among us I
has been marked by.decided coolness on tho part I
of a large number of tho oldest and staunchest I
Whigs of the city and County. j
But yesterday being the day for tho great I
Scott demonstration, Johnston was of course
present, in all his own peculiar demagogueißm. I
Wo would prefer attaching to this gcntlemnn
some other designation; but a sense of devotion i
to truth forbids it. He was early before tho i
people in a speech on various matters; and i
while “My fellow-citizens” constituted every i
third or fourth word, for about an hour, we were i
favored with some- disquisitions on politics as i
wise and profound as could reasonably be ex- 1
pected from a school-boy of twelvo. years old.
He descanted largely upon the dreadful evils of I
the tariff act of 1846; accused the Democratic
party of treacheiy in carrying through that act;,
showed many of the evds that had resulted from
it, especially to the coal and iron interests;
spoke of tho extreme unkindness and want of
guardian core over her citizens, if the general
government should not adopt some means by
which the laboring man might be enabled to edu
cate and properly rear his children; entered
into a long illustration of the differences be
tween citizens of this country and the laboring
men of Europe; and indulged in a strain of
similar demagogueical harangue, that was truly
disgusting, even to a portion of his politics*
friends.
In the course of his observations he referred
to tho Delaware Division of our public improve- -
ments, and spoke of the great profit of this por
tion of the pnblio works to the State ; and, al
though he had previously declared that tho iron
and coal interests of this State were entirely
prostrated, he actnally told the people that, bat
for the coni and iron transported on this portion
of the public workß, they would not pay. one
twentieth port of their present income! A con
sistent statement,' truly! but perfectly in ac
cordance with the most approved Whig argu
ment.
A considerable - portion of his speech was
landatory of Gen. Scott, in accordance with
the resolutions passed at the opening of the
meeting. And probably half on hour waa spent
in an attempt to explain to “my fellow-citizens”
the operations of “my measuro,” known as the
sinking fond. But wo thought that Mu attempt
at explanation was about as dear as the demon
strations of tho operations of the tariff upon
tho agricultural and other interests of the State
all of whioh were os “oleoras mnd!” There
is one thing, however, forwhich we must-give
to our most sapient Governor due oredit—it is
the discovery of the'true onuses of all the
wretchedness,, and misery, famine and want,
that have almost desolated Ireland in a few
years. -It is surely a : profound and truly states
man like conclusion. He says that all these
evils have been entailed upon Ireland, because.
England has forced her people to become agri
culturists J - We had denied to Wit. F. Johnston
all claims to any thing above a mere small po
tato politician, but after bo perfectly clear, and
concise, and entirely unquestionable d J solutipn
of what has thus far, been considered by the
ablest men of. Europe and America a problem:
very difficult: of solution, we must now accord
to Mm the meed of thewisest and most profound
philosopher and statesman of both Europe and
America. We expect to • pay further attention
to Mr. J.’s remarks.

Whlggery i Beautiful IVhlggery I
Recently, the Whigs of the State of Now Yoik
held a grand' convocation, at which they did
many things aiming at the good of the Whig
party in general, and thoso of their, own State in
particular, of course- But, some how, these
Whigs, when they attempt to make great de
velopments of principle, can only arrange i t so,
as to Bhow that they belong to a little, narrow,
contracted spot of earth; and that their ideas
are concentrated, immoveably -fixed, upon that
spot. They seem to bo mentally incapable of in
cluding within the grasp of .their ideas of politi
cal sociality even so great an extent of territory
os two States; and as it respects on agreement
upon politioaLmaxims that shall meet tho sanc
tion (if any thing more .than a limited section of
the Union, thiß is what the combined wisdom of
that potion cannot .by. any means accomplish;
.Need, we wonder, then, that each flimsy subtor
i fugeS are sometimes resorted to by the loaders
j of this party; when they virtually declare that
a lie- well adhered to, is as good as the ■ truth ?
In short, there can bo no regard for morality
among men who practioo Buch gross and open
deception,-in order to attain political power-
I One of tho most important things done 1 by
I these Whigs, was tho adoption of what they wish
I to have considered as a platform on which nil the
J -Whigs of the State can stand. And it is just
| such:a thing as might: have been expected from
1 such!a source. Hero is a very matonnl portion’
I Of it j
“The laws of Congress and of tho State Legis
latures, pronounced constitutional by the judicial
tribunals, must be enforced and implicitly
oboyfcd; and that while this is cheerfully rocog
i nized as the duty of all, as subjects of the laws,
I yet that tho right of citizens, as voters, is equal
ly undeniable to discuss, with a fall and mutual
regard for the rights and interests of ail part 3
of tho confederacy, (which is as necessary now
to maintain, as it waq indispensable to achieve
lathe blessed Union of these States;) the oxpcdi-
I ency, of such laws, and the propriety of any of
I their provisions, and to seek, by constitutional
I means, their repeal or modification.”
: It is easy to perceive, on reading this, that
the difference between Pennsylvania VVbiggcri,-
anil New York Wluggery is only as twcedle-dum
and fwcedle-dce; and that tho party in both
States are aiming at a grand game of deception,
which, if they succeed in winning may, and
most probably will, lead to the first acts that
will produce a dissolution of the Union. Be
cannot contemplate such a result with calmness.
Oar only sensation is that of horror at the result,
while wo could only look with loathing and ut-
I ter disgust upon the wretches who could aid m
producing such a result. But, without leaving
sueb-n revolting idea upon tho mind, wc may re
cur to tho past with pleasure, and hence derive
tho means, perhaps, to encourage hope fur the
future. A few considerations of this nature may
I suffice.
Our government is vitally, and, indeed, radi
cally democratic. Tho occasions, when the par
ty whose sentiments are in union with tho spirit
of the government have been out of power, have
been few; and even when not in power, they
hnve been able to avert much mischief, to pre
vent tho accomplishment of mnch positive harm,
and even indirectly to accomplish that which
they would have boldly done, if they might dare
to do so: bat our party have, withal, ever been
prudent,—both in the administration of power,
and in the means by which to further all the
great ends aimed at. These considerations have
scoured to us the confidence of tho country gen
erally ; and have oven gained for us tho esteem
of our most intelligent opponents; and, being
always on tho side of our country in every emer
gency. no great crisis has arisen, in which it has
not devolved upon the Democratic party to stand
foremost in thoomergency, and suggest tiicmeans,
and provide tho men, through whom the threaten
ed danger was to be averted. It is such consid
erations as these, that afford real ground for hope
to every reflecting mind; auditia such considcr-
ations that will ever keep us, as a party, oven
though shorn of government patronage and pow
er, in favor with the great mass of the people:
and really respected by oar opponents, even
though they may attempt to ridicule us; and to
condemn our measures.
Arsenic is Candles.—To detect arsenio in
candles, take a piece of gold com or a gold col
lar or sleovo button, and suspend it over the.
flame of ft candle, (one or two inches above,l tak
ing car© not to mnko tboniotalauy thing like red
hot- After being thus suspended fora few min
ntes, cool and rub tbe peace, and the sublimated
arsenic will be found deposited on the polished
surface of the gold. It will be amalgamated
with it, ond exhibit awhile metalic lustre like
inferior silver plate, it is well known that ar
senic is used very extensively in tho manufac
ture of all or most of the various sorts of hard
composition candles, whatever name they may
assume The community ought to have some
protection agauißt this mode of disseminating
poison.
How to Mateo Alcohol.
“I have tried whether it is tho heat indistiia
tion that makes tho alcohol, and I have proved
that it is not; for I got alcohol out of wine
without subjecting it to the heat of distilation;
I got alcohol out of beer and out of cider, not
by heat; and I find that alcohol is the second
process of certain decaying vegetable substances
rushing to purification,” and if any man would
lot them go, nnd not stay them by any process,
in a little while tho substance would bo n mass
of purification; but man has learned to stop it
and apply it to pnrposes, for which the God of
nature never meant it to bo applied. IV hen a
man finds, that by laying fire upon the skin, tho
skin is burned although fire is a creature of God,
he gathers from the fact a great law—that God
intended that he should not put fire upon Ins
skin; and when a man finds, that if he puts ai
ehohol into his stomach, it burns the stomach,
and bums the brain, and burns tho soul, ho gets
a great-law of God—that he should not put nl
chobol into the stomach. It is one of tbe.mast
bsarb arguments—'that it is a “good” creature
of God.’”
Gov, Johnston and the Danville Railroad.
—ln 1837 Gov. Johnston voted for an appropri
ation of $150,000 to tho Danville and Pottsvillo
railroad. Instead of getting any return for this
money, tho State has been regularly paying, for
Boveral years past, $16,000 annually asagnran
too of a loan for this company. This is another
of Gov. Johnston’s Sinking Funds, that has sunk
the State so deeply in debt, and burthens the
people so heavily with taxation.
Another op the. Same Sort. —Gov. Johnston
voted $70,000; in 1837, to the Bald Eaglo and
Spring Creek Navigation Company; and instead
of getting any interest on this money,. tho Stato
has annually paid a guarantee of interest amount
ing to $lO,OOO. This is another Sinking Fund,
—ffamsburg Investigator.
The skull of an animal, at present un
known. on tho North American Continent, has
been found .in a cave on Long Gludo in Vir
ginia- . The, length :of the skull is ton inohes,
and its greatest thiokness about- four. It is
crooked to an angle of about forty-five degrees,
and in other particulars has the appearance of
having belonged to an animal of the Tapir tribe.
There are no eye sockets in tho skull,’ ond wo
are at a loss to know whore the organs of vision
were located, if indoed the nondesoript had any.:
A large grinder, still adhering in the jaw,
shows .that it was o graminivorous animal.
, Professional Mendicancy.— For some timo
post adon of professional beggars haslieen’kept
ina honsea few doorswest of Roce, on Pearl
street,-says the Gazette. The principal of the -
establishment, an Italian, has-had in his em
ployment sundry blind and maimed persons,
who aro sent over tho city and country, and who
arc required to account to him for all the pro
ceeds pf their itineranoy. In this house the
poor deorepid creatures.are stowed, away in
miserable apartments, and probably fed upon
offal when not engaged in begging through the
streets. Our citizens who ore disposed to re
pudiate - this professional mondicancy, will do
well to examine the claims of those who demand
their charities, — Cm. Enq.

SKETCH OP THE
LIFE 03? WILLIAM BIGLEE.
It is not until amafvemergesfrom Iho compar
ative obscurity of private life, and assumes aprom
inent part m public .affairs* that the; community
enquire into his personal history and seekto a? -
certain by what sucoe&gful steps ho has attained
position. Some great—others are
more indebted to adventitious circumstances
-William Biqlf.e, the Democratic candidate
for Governor of Pennsylvania, was bom in Cum
berland county, December 1813. His father was
a respectable and intelligent farmer, much be
loved by his neighbors. ■ His means being small
and his inducedto exchange
his small farm in Cumberland for a large tract
of wild land in Mercer. To this place ho . re
moved in 1820, and commenced the orduoustask
of clearing the foreßt. William Biolbiv was at
this time seven years of: ago; at ten he had. the
misfortune to lose Ins father. Ho was thus left
with his widowed mother, and helpless brothers
and sisters, amid the rude scones of forrest life,
with incessant toil and severe privations, entire
ly dependent upon his own exertions; andyet it
is under such circumstances that tho innate
energies of character are developed. Aided by
his brothers, ho maintained m comfort his moth
er, sacraficing all selfish considerations to tho
sacred duty providiug for her support Ho re
served only tho pittance requisite in such loca
tions to pay for tho elementary education to be
acquired during the winter months. Many now.
residing in Mercer, remember the bearing of tbo
boy—lns persevering industry, sturdy independ
ence and tilial devotion. His rigid economy and
sterling integrity gavo promise of that success
■which has attended him in every sphere in wlucb
he has been called to move. Honesty of purpose
anti stern principle, were bis guides. No lofty
aspirations made him discontented with his life
of toil: and while ho embraced every opportuni
ty of improving his intellect, he engaged active
ly in the business of life. Fortunately Mr.
IlioLun was not ono of those young men (con
sidered by a lato traveler ns the only unfortu
nate ones she met with in our country,) who arc
bomdo an inhentage of wealth. His relations
and position m life called into immediate exer
cise all tbo ability with which lie was cudowcd.
He bad neither the time norincans to indulgom
ruinous dissipation or theoretical speculations,
had the tone and temper of his mind led him to
such courses.
In* 182'.), he selected as Ins future occupation
the trade of a caTpcuter. In 1831, he entered
a printing office—that prolific school of sound
thought, and intelligent, vrcll*tonod xumds. His
brother, late Speaker of the California House
of Representatives, and now Democratic candi
date for Governor of that State, was .'then the
pulmsherof the Centre Democrat* In 188 J, when
but yet a minor—being but twenty years of
ape—m harmony with that determination of
purpose and sturdy independence which nrc
chief characteristics of his mind, with nn old
printing press and twenty dollars loaned by a
friend, he undertook the hardy, and, ns It ap
peared to many of his friends, the foal-hardy
enterprise of establishing a Democratic paper
in Clearfield county. The. population was ex
ceedingly sparse, hi 3 resources meagre almost
to penury; without influence, without friends,
witliout position, the present was dark, the fu- 1
ture unpromising. Contrary to the advico of 3
experienced nge, against every consideration of 1
personal comfort, he boldly dared, self-depcn I
dant, the issue of a doubtful experiment, die-!
ing without the means to employ the necessary 1
assistance, he was editor, compositor, press* i
mau. and devil. A political, crisis was now ap- <
preaching. tien. Jackson, doubting the consti- 1
tntionality of a United ft tales Bank, opposed a
re-charter, and boldly dared the powers of the
mobster. Even the most indifferent were, ns
their interests or convictions swayed, forced in
to the arena—ncautralily in politics was not
known. A fair field of argument was now open
ed, nbd Mr- Bigler did not stand aloof. The
associations of boyhood, confirmed by the jud
montof morn mature years, bad arrayed him
with the Democratic massesr. The money power
1 controlling every energy of the people—mtlucn
-1 cing the commercial and manufacturing business
—acting upon hopes or fears wielding a power
ful sceptre- The Cleetrjield Democrat, under the
Superintendence of Mr. Bigler, was conspicu
ously active in this contest as an exponent of
1 Hit* Democratic principle. The resources of a
I well stored mind were called 1 lit" requisition.—
1 Firm and decided m his political principle, he
1 expressed his sentiments in stronguml energetic
| language; yet ever courteous and urbane—nev-
Icr forget!illg the man in the partisan—-he dis
i armed opposition of its virulence and malignity.
The campaign of Hs;M is nil era ill the political
history of our country', tin the one side wealth
and its consequent power, with the efficient aid
of a nuinerons press; nn the other, the Jfan 0/
fmti 11 dl, leading on the Democratic masses.
In any other country, under any other political
organization, the contest would have been less
than doubtful—tlie result was but another proof
of the beauty of our system. This crisis
brought Mr- Bigler more immediately into no
tice; the circulation of his paper was increased
—his sentiments were adopted—his editorials
extensively quoted os purely Democratic—his
course gained him the respect and esteem of his
political opponents while it endeared him to the
friends whom he had gained. He advocated
Democratic measures because he considered them
founded upon pure, constitutional principles;
never sacrificing them to the plea of expediency,
panics did not nffrighthnn from his position, the
cry' of change did not alarm him. He was, du
ring his editorial career, tho firm and unwaver
ing supporter of a radical rciortn in the Bank
ing System.
The question of amending tho Constitution of
the State now beenmo tho leading topic, and
Mr. Bigler was earnestly iu favor ol change from
tho almost royal character of tho old Constitu
tion to the more republican features of tho pres
ent Tho appointing power of the Executive,
ns also the tenure of office, were considered by
the Democratic party ns nuti-ropubhcnn, and
although violently opposed by those in power,
the event justified the confidence of .the people
in the influence of .principle; Mr. Bigler was
solicited to become a member of the Reform Con
vention, hut ho modestly declined.
In 18fi8 he married the accomplished daughter |
of A B Reed, Esq., of Clearfield. The saroo 1
year he sold out his printing establishment and 1
engaged in tho more activo.and stirring business

a candidate to the State Senate, on tho part of
Clearfield county, and again declined tho prof
fered honor, as he had repeatod nomina
tions to tho House of Representatives. InlB4l,
during an absence from homo, ho was again
nominated to the State Senate. The urgont so
licitations of his friends induced him to booomo
n candidate. Tho result was his election by a
largo majority. During tho momorablo session
of ’42 the State was unable to pay tho mtorost
on thoStnto debt. Tho oommeroinl world was
convulsed —crash followed orash, and banking
institutions wore prostrated—tho confidence ro
poßod in thorn had boon forfeited—porsonal hon
esty and individual integrity were objects of
suspicion. Domestic creditors, fovered by hopes
or ehillod witli fears, thronged tho halls of legis
lation, petitioning for rights,;. olnmonng for ro
dross; to crown all, the mammoth croation of n
previous administration, utterly foiled. Ways
and moans wero to be provided; the emergency
was instant and pressing; tho cry of repudiation
sounded across tho waters—Stoto pride in
voked—ovory consideration called for action.
Mr. Biglep. entered energetically upon his du
ties; declamation ceaßod-tobo of avail or hooded;
tho Committee room became tho. proper sphere
of usefulness; correct - information and sound
principles of action tho .only means of retrieving
the past To the various points connected with
the finances and resources of the State, Mr. Bw
ler devoted his attention. Being a young mem
ber both in years and experience, he seldom ob
trudcdlhis sentiments iu debate; when he did, it
was in tho strongyet simple language of com
* mon sense, unadorned with those flowers of
rhetoric which, while they beautify, seldom add
to the foroo of reasoning. Hm opinions on all
questidns of finonco were listened to with atten
tion, and regarded as valuable. Af. th ®
had suspended specie payments, tho effort of
the session was to adopt some means to compel
them tb perform their duty by resumption- In
i" the accomplishment of this objoot, Mr- Biamm
labored assiduously,: and sustained tho bill which

At tho close of the session of 1813,. ho waß
oleoted Speaker of the Senate, and -was unani
mously re-elected at the opening of the session
of 1844. tho presiding officer, ho -was cour-
and firm—he discharged his
duties with dignity^— and won the esteem and res
pect of aU, as.evinced in the resolutions passed
at the close of the session. -
v'At we subsequent-election ho was returned to
the Senate by an increased majority*. Puring
Ins last term in the Senate, he devoted much of
his time to the subject of Interna l Improvements
especially.to opening tho great thoroughfares
■through our State. Familiar with its mighty
resources* his for-TCaching mind sawthatmenns
must bo provided jor the*transportation of its
wealth, or it would seek a passage through other
channels. - .The Baltimore and Ohio-Railroad
Company had already petitioned for the right
iof way through the State—the New'York nnd
i Erie road Bought to reaoh the lakes through our
i northern lino of counties. The former, project,
as destructive of our best interests —as sacri
ficing our great commercial' emporium—as. sub
versive of much of tho uses of-the improvements
alrcody completed—drawing from their proper
course the trade and travel of the West, was
Btrongly opposed by Mr. Blown. Philadelphia
was to be sacrificed, an act prejudicial to the
interests of the whole State was about to pass—
strong sectional feeling was aroused, yet look
ing to the future, Mr- Bigler was neither intimi
dated by powerful interests nor seduced by the
alluring pictures of local prosperity. The in
corporation and successful proßeoution of tho
great Central Railroad atteßt the wißdom of his
coarse.
The other project met withhis support, as af
fording to the citizens of the North a market for
their productions and interfering with no vital
interests of the other portions of the State..
Among. other projects calculated- to develop
the rcsources of Pennsylvania, the North Branch
Canal has been regarded by the inhabitants of
the northern portion of our State, as of primary
importance. The immense mineral wealth of
the Wyoming and Lockawana Valleys must seek
a market through this channel. The extensive
country North and West which dependsupon this
region for its supplies,' induced the idea of this
improvement, and led the Legislature to. appro
priate liberally for its completion. . Our financial
di&cnltics caused tha abandonment of this very
important work. Mr, Bioleu, looking upon it
os, part of a comprehensive financial scheme cal
culated to benefit thowholo State, os also involv
ing great local interests, has been its unswerving
supporter.
It would bo invidious to follow Mr. Bioum
through his entire Senatorial course—suffice, it
to suv that the records of Legislation attest his
devotion - to pure Democratic principles, and to
i the advocacy of those measures tending to the
i welfare and prosperity of the whole tetatc.—
Merging lho individual in the Statesman, he per
mitted no local interest to bias his judgment—
liberal m his sentiments bo allowed no narrow
or individual views to influence his course—
■‘too fond of the right to follow the expedient,”
lie was unwilling to-sacrifice the future to the
present. While his career is marked with de
cision and firmness, the amenities and courtesies
due to ids fellow members wore rigidly adhered
to.
lie retired from the Senato at the ctoso of the
term, and devoted himself exclusively to the pur
suits of business—with the usual results of in
dusuy and intelligence—an independent compe
tency. His abilities, experience and sound in
formation on nil subjects connected with the re
sources and interests of the State, together with
ins purely democratic principles—pointed him
out. as a suitable candidate tor Governor. In
1840 ho was brought forward by his friends—
Jtidgo LoNosTSETir was, however, tho choice of
the Convention—oml ns if every circumstance
tended to add greater lustre to tho character of
the man, Mr. Uioluc, though his strongest op
ponent in tho Convention, was his most strenu
ous and arduous supporter in tho campaign that
followed. His time, abilities and means were
devoted to the success of tho Democratic nomi
nee.
Mr, Bigler s name was again brought for'
wind, and the unanimity with which count}* af
ter county instructed their delegates—the accla
mation with which he was nominated by the
Convention, arc significant oi his popularity,
and auspicious of success.
Snch is a brief sketch of the career ot Wil
liam Riar,K&—another illustration of the beau*
ties and harmony of our political institutions,—
Few would have ventured to predict a future so
brilliant for the carpenter's apprentice, or the
printer's boy. More daring vftuddhe hare been
deemed who would have presumed to fashion the
eohgnUncd statesman, from tnc redo child of the
forest.
The history of our country abounds with such
examples. Honesty of purpose, integrity of
character, and moral worth, are always assured'
of success; yet the frequency of the illustration
does not destroy our admiration of the qualities
of the individual. The hackneyed politician pe
tition* for-tho suffrages; of Ins fcllow-citucnn, but
this intelligent statesman is presented to them,
willing to abide by his principles. No unworthy
motive actuates him—no overleaping aralution
impels him; he has frequently declined proffer
ed honors, and yet feels bn* duty us a citizen too
strong to refuse compliance with the wishes of
bis fellow-citizens, no significantly expressed.—
On all the issued touching the present state of
affairs, his mind is fully developed; with the
finances, resources and improvements of the
.State, ho is laimlmr; on the great questions of
national policy, be is sound; his personal inte
grity xa above suspicion ; in bis social relations,
the promiso of his boyhood, his devotion to Jus
mother, ban been, realized by his conduct as a
man—slander has not dared to breathe n tarnish
upon his name. In personal appearance, Mr.
Ruilrh is prepossessing; his form is manly and
robust; his countenance, intelligent and kind ;
his manners are winning aud unobtrusive.
Such ts the candidate presented by his Demo
cratic fellow-citizens. combining all the requisites
for the office—honesty and capability. The
result cannot be doubtful, and as the next Go
vernor of our time-honored Commonwealth, we
hail the poor boy, Uio toiling apprentice, the la
boring raftvumn. ?•
liatk from Caiujfmas. —The steamer Wm.
Goston ornvod at Savannah on Thursday last,
from Florida. The Savannah Nows learns by
tins arrival, that on Monday evening lost, the
Ulh inst., a brig arrived at Jacksonville, from
Cardenas, in hvc days, and reports that all tho
previous accounts published of tho sncccss oft lie
patriots over tho Spanish troops arc correct—
That the patriots are daily increasing m num
bers, and nro sangumo of success. Tlioy have
possession of many strong places, and are well
supplied with arms and ammunition. They were
daily awaiting the landing of Goa. Lopez at some
point on tho island, when there would be a gen
eral rising of tho people.
The bng Charles Kershaw, Capt. Richmond,
also, arrived at Charleston on. Friday morning
from Havana, which port sho left on the Bth
inst. Sho reports that, three doyß boforo hor
departure, tho United States steamer Vixen ar
rived with some intelligence respecting Lopez,
which caused great excitement, and that all the
Spanish vcssolb of war: and' steamers woro
ordered out immediately to oruiso along tho
coast.:
By tiiia arrival the Charleston Gourior has ro
ccivcd.faU files of tho Faro Industrial up to tho
7th Inst., inolusivo. They contain addresses
from.tlio ofiioials of CicnthogOß, Trinidad do Cu
ba, Puerto Prinotpo and Villb Clara, stating that
tho disaffected were surrendering, thomselves,
and that many prisoners had been taken. The
very tenor, howovor, of those addresses tends to
demonstrate that the aspoot of ntfairs is more
serious than they would have the pooplo of tho
island imagino, and that an organised revolution
is in eiistenoe. But, notwithstanding tho po
litical troubles, strange to say, commercial mat
ters seem unaffected by them.
Cdbln IsiEiiaENOE.—The NewOrieans Delta,
of the ;Bth instant, details a conversation with
one of jthe patriots of Cuba, who left Trinidad on
the 21th ult., and giTes the most encouraging
account of the progress of the revolution, though
they expect prompt and immediate aid from tho
DnitedjStates, and adds:
“ Such aid is alone : necessary to odiiatitute a
powerful noceluß, around whioh nearly the whole
creole population will gather. Tho latter do not
fear tho Spanish troops so much ns they do the
old Spaniards resident in the country, who are
full of hostility and against the creoles
and the cause of Republicanism. Tlje patriots
have been molted to the straggle by tho liberal
promises of aid from the United States, arid we
ore bound to keep good,our pledge, or share the
ignominy of a failure.”
Commerce opßaetimoeb.— The : total value of
of exports to foreign pirts for tho week ending
on the 3.4 th, was $387,239 81. Among the prin
cipal articles exported were 11,000 bbls. flour,
aid ab;out 10,000 bushels corn. The shipments
to Southern coastwise ports were also- heavy.—
A number of veßselß have sailed for New Orleans,
Savannah and Charleston, with full cargoes
Among the articles taken by them were 5,905
bags cqtfee, 2,030 barrels flour, and 24,647 bush

The accident that has,placed the produce of
Russia next to that of the United Slates is cu-.
rioua and suggestive. The greatest empire next
to tho greatest republic—pure despotism side
by side with perfect self-government, vigorous,
private enterprise compared with the results
; >of royal patronage; yet there are strong points
of resemblances between the two conntries.—
Barely 160 years have elapsed since Peter the
Great, while commencing the task of European
izing and civilizing Russia, worked by day ih the
shipyards of Deptford,' relaxed by , driving a
wheelbarrow through Evelyn's beautiful holly
hedge at Sayes Court, (a hedge still in existence,)
and sat up at night drinking brandy and pepper
with tha Marquis of Cacrmnrthen. But sixty
eight years have passed away since Benjamin
Franklin, dressed in the brown suit in which
Wedderburno had abused him as a rebel, atten
ded os Minister Plenipotentiary from tho United
States to sign the treaty of peace by which Great
Britain acknowledged the independence of the
Republic. Both have maderapid strides in that
brief period. Both have invited immigration.
Tho Russians on plan, rule, and system; the
Americans by free liberty to labor and great
chances of independence. Beth have still huge
tracts of land to be cultivated. Both are rich
in raw produce and natural, wealth. But the
progress of Russia depends almost on one irre
sponsible man. The progress of the United
- States depends on the continued vigor of a na
tion which so far has proved itself equal to ovc
' ry opportunity. The Russian confides in bis
Emperor: tho “Statesman” depends on himself.
The American people have made the United
States the great nation it is. But no man of
observation can doubt that it has been the hard
hand of despotism which has raised the Russian
empire from *tlie condition of semi-barbarism in
which it existed in the-time, of our William HI.
