The *se considers itself imperatively called 'On to stateaflat* exp.-visions of opinion favorable to Mr. Cifety, - oarthe.part orthe majority of the Chien bersburg Convehtion, are not to be received as a fair representation Of the wishes-end opinions of even the whig party proper of the State of Pennsylvania. To prove the truth of this assertion, it copies the following notice from.our Journal of 'the StKinst. "Caambentbarg Convention • " A meeting et the Citizens of Schuylkill county, 1 1 friendly to the election of HENRY CLAY to the I next Preeidency, will be held at Veiny Singer's Ho tel, in the Borough of Puttsvilfle, this day, June Bth,' 11339; at 3 o'clock, P 4 M., fur the purpose urchoosing Delegates to thesChembereburg Convention, and at so to choose two Conferees to meet those appointed in Lehigh cotinty, tp appoint Delegates to the Na.l Lionel Convention to be held in Decenther !text at Hanisburg." . Now if the Evening Star will look at the pro ! ceedings of a previous meeting, published in this I Journal on the llth May, the object of which was to nominate delegates to the Harrisburg Convention, it will be found that it was a meeting of those friend ly to the election of Harrison and Webster. We I-have not commenced this article for the purpose of ' entering on any argument as to the claims of our rep resentetton'in the Chanthersburg Convention, nei ther shall we notice:the perfect non-chalance with which the Star disfranchises the whip of Schuyl kill Co. , but to inform our frienda abroad—and in that class we regret to say, we do not rank those presses, whose intemperate zeal, and fanatic devo i tion to a particular creed, would destroy all con netting links between the differeut elements of the i anti-Van Buren party.—We repeat that we cannot I recognize as our co-laborers in the work of political Ireform those who come into the camp at the `elev enth h ar, and instead of striving to reconcile dif c. i fere° ,to promote concert of action, and harmony. 1 of operations, light the incendiary brendof-oppoei i tion, nail their'flag to the staff, claim their exclusive i leaders, and contend that the party who for years 1 has struggled against a, powerful foe, must in all l respects be subservient to them. 1 But to our friends id Penni, lvania, to those who lare prepared to adopt a conciliatory course, who view with proper concern, and anxiety the-crisis - to which.the political state of our country is now hal minaung, who feel that the preservatioe of eta Iry iinstitutions, and the vitality of our existence as lista j lion, are involved in the coaling struggle—to them we would say, that the PEOPLE of Schuylkill Coun ty, will be found all right when that crisis arrives. Thank heaven! the a hig party in our county is ' trammelled with no offlce)tunters—no greedy aspi -1 rata for the crumbs of political' servitude are to be seen, fawning s and cringing in 'servile abjectness. We have erected our flag—but have inscribed it-with • no name—we abjure all man-worship---but the worths that are blazoned on its folds are e Imams , promising hostility to Martin Van Buren." Such being the state of feeling, we sent a delegation to Harrisburg, nominated by the friends of Harrison i —in the report of whose procee dings , referred to I above, as published in this paper on the 11th May, no mention is made of any other name, and the meeting approved by resolution of e holding a State Convention on the 22nd May, at Harrisburg, far the purpose of forming an electoral ticket friendly to Harrison and Webster." Now Mr. Star, the same Whig Party, held another public meeting, that the more immediate friends of Me. Clay might have a voice in the Convention s called at Chatubersburg ; at this meeting the following resolutions were adopted; Resolved, That while we are assembled here as the friends and suppin i ters of Henry Clay, for the next Presidency, and while we pay all -due homage to the splendid talent and brilliant Staterimanship, which has made him our 'first choice, we °wag pri or and imperious duty to our country, which irri pals us, to preserve unity in, our ranks as "the un compromising opponents of Martin Van Buren," and that all minor preferencesend prejudiceenhould . give way before that duty. Never has there been 1 such an imperious necessity to remember the funda. mental principle of our union, "united "Ica staud, divided we fall." Resolved, That deeply imPreesed.with the fear. fill truth of these views, a truth which-has almost amounted to a fatality with the Whig cause, we im plore them to unite in one tomaton cause—hy so doing they - witl. tread the path to victory. Fight the good fight as one man shoulder to shoulder, no flinching, nu separate naanouvoling : let all be har mony, directed !Awards one great and desirable end, the downfall of Van Bureniena, and the rescue of our country from the grasp of a debased and despised faction, such as can uphold a Kendal or a Buchanan while they anathematise a Talmadge or a Rives. Ruoteed, That our delegates to the Chambers. burg Convention, be instructed to report therein, as the determination of the Whigs of Schuylkill Coun ty, friendly , to Henry Clay, that they will suffer no individual bias or frivorbism, to deter them from cooperating with the National Convention, and I that their sole-aim is, in the lapguageof Benjahan t Watkins Leigh," to check the transition of the fed al government unto a mere elective monarchy ; and. 1 a monarchy elective through the Instrumentality of the most malignant faction and the foulest corrup tion, by the dismission of our present rulers from the public councils and confidence forever ." Now wo would ark, where is the exclusiveness of this meeting—where is the misnomer of the conven tion to which its delegates were appointed I The Star says a misnomer teas palmed upon it :—in the . name of the Whigs of Schuylkill we deny all knowl edge of the arts of slauftling, packing, or palming the political'peek. In their.name too, we cast hack with indignant scorn tie bldck insinuation, that they are untrue to their principles! No section of the State has been more true to the whig cause- than ours—although in a grievous minority, we have ever striven with unwearied exertions to bring out all our strength—although we have been subjected to every annoyance, which a malignant majority could fas ten upon us, although our friends have been stigma tized and reviled, and our exertions frustrated in eve ry way which ingenuity could devise, still we have been foundlaithful, true and attached ! And does the Star think by abuse, by insinuations of dislion -1 esty, by accusations of packing a convention, to rivet bonds of unioa 1 Does it hope to work in concert with us. when it presumes to discredit our honesty, and charges us with disreputable collusions ! We are not prepared .to be dictated to by the Star, nor does the lanuage of reproof come with a good grace, from one whose whole course has been based on the issue of " men, not principled." The editor may be as good it whig as we, or any of our County, but he does not go the right -way to work, to procure useful alliances., or laborious friends. . ' The same honest expression of preference which the Star assumes to itself, we claim. The Whigs of Schuylkill, whose organ, we are proud to call our selves, are averse to any extraneous excitement be ing called up—they recognize none as friends or al lies who strive to divide or weaken their force. They rather will be on their guard against such as latent foes, who assume a fnendly garb, to lead to a destructive ambuscade. They are prepared to sup port the nominee of the National Democratic Whig Conventima whoever he rosy be, feeling a full reli ance on the judgment of those who may be selected to guide its deliberations, and we can unhesitatingly assert, that whether Clay, Harrison, Webster, or any other be the rallying name, not one will be ab sent from the polls, when the election day shall come on, although they may not be supported by the wa vering, the doubtful, and the disaffected, of those who hold the same toechi of political faith with them, but cannot fiud-it in their hearts to compromise their individual bias, for the good of the great Anti-Van Buren parts . =!=S Matter of Taste.—Our corn Is now coming- up, in thw neighborhood,' and looks very well, P'ays an exchange payer. We prefer corn, a‘in t t the time it is going . down on a rail way of butter and salt ; then to our taste; it feels like studying Cobb's school-books. Slave Trade.—The 4nerienn Consul at Havana is distinctly eharged by the N. Y. preu, with being cognizant of vessels, fitted out with cut registers, to engage in the slave trade. When the Cabinet shall havmettled its travelling business,' they probably will pay some attention to this flagrant outrage. Mathew Carey, Eeq.—W e are pleased 'to learn that the efforts of this gentleman, to obtain a repeal of that part of the Philadelphia, Poor Law, which prohibited out-door relief, have been entirely suc cessful, both branches of the Legislature having con curred in the application.

Indictments for CunsptAcy.—Some of . the city lawyers have been taken with a new .fever, worse than the morns thulticaulis—if is the conspiracy fever. " By their reasoning, if a man says a hank bill is a good one, he is responsible, if the concern should break. The law is a knotty concern any , way you thin fi x it, and when Philadelphia lawyers' un lertake to put morekinks into it, the web of Pen elope herself would be easier to unravel !

Great Walking.-0a Monday week, Mr. Abram Nostrand of Jamaica, L.T. , walked 20 miles in two minutes and a half, less than two hours and irhalfl He is 22 years of age-5 feet 7 inches high and weighs 142 pounds. The feat was performed with ease, and an eye witness informs us, that 'he was as fresh the - last 200 yards as when he commenced, and jumped up, as he finished, to - show that he still was not winded. Legitkaure.—Neit week, we will if possible give a summary of the }proceedings off* branches' Philadelphia .Locpt Company.—Wellearn from the Philadelphia papers, that a new board of Di rectors has been appointed to this Institution, and that the Company, would in all probability,, be able in a abort !pre of time to resume its busi dess as usual: In consequence of these represen tations, the application made by Mr. Hirai before Judge King, for an investigation, has been with drawn. Green Bargains.—Peas are only $4 a bushel at Rochester ! Whoeverbought them at that price, paid for them. Breach of Promise.—A Miss Smith of Ohio has recovered dadtages 'from Mr. Limber, for refusing to marry her, per agreement. The defendant stated in his extenuation that Miss Smith wore false teeth . and false curls, and in fact that the goods did not come up to sample. Now we most disagree with the verdict of the.jury in this case, for ifs lady with false teeth and false hair is to palm herself off, as a sound article, we shall have all our young men look ing in the ladies' months, jockey-fashion. False hair too shameful—if the inamurato ask for a lock of hair, is he to receive a bunch of false curls? Un til this decision is reversed by the Supreme Court, we advise all would be Benedicta to beware. Caveat emptor !

In truth I am not well pleased that such..a ticket has been ta ken up. lam myself so antious to eject from of face the present incumbent, that I am resolved to cast my vote, as a catiter,and, if it may so happen. as an elector, in favor of the National Whig Candi- date who may be taken up at Harrisburg, iDe. cember next. My first choice is Mr. Clay, but am \ gc willing to go for General Harrison, or any other cit. teen, whose principle are well known, to ple himself to be honest ind faithful to the Constitul n, and eeonoroical in the disposal of tbe public m oo v.
