No engagement of any consequence had ta

Jim.Ks Kim; ami Caissons, at the Court
of Common Picas, in ChilaJelphia, last
week decided that the operator was bound
to disclose the contents of a telegraphic
communication when required to do so in
a legal proceeding, as it was not among
the class of cases which have the privilege
of secrecy.
With due respect to their honors, we
submit that the reason it has not been in
cluded in that class is, because, the case
has never occurred before. If this is the
law, our next legislature should alter it.
The Canal Commissioners will re
ceive proposals at A ui thtiiibi iland, on the

which it annually receives on account ol

curs to us that Northumberland is rather
a singular place to let work to be done
here. The money appropriated should
have been placed at the disposition of the

THE WHIG Til KEt
Was been nominated by the Convention
for that purpose assembled at Lancaster.
There appeals- to have been some difficulty
in filling up the Convention, and substi
tutes were admitted to represent those dis
tricts whose regular delegates did not feel
interested enough to claim their seat9. Jn
the face of a resolution requiring the dele
gate to reside in the district he represent
ed, we observe that Dr. James D. Si raw
bridge, of Montour, did our district, com
posed of Dauphin and Northumberland, the
honor to represent her interests.
The Convention unanimously nominated
William F. Johnston, as their candidate
for Gorernor. He will find Col. Bigler a
much more formidable opponent than
Judge Longstrcth. Col. Cigler is decidedly
the most popular man in the State, and is
the real "favorite son ol Pennsylvania."
If he had been nominated in 'IS, '.he ballot
boxes would have told a different tale.
We shall attend to the merits of these com
petitors in a future number.
There was some difficulty in the nomina
tion of Judge Jessup. lie was declared
nominated on the first ballot, but a mistake
wasalledged and, after a sharp contest in
several succeeding ballots, he was success
ful. This Convention was more liberal to
the whigs in the North, than our demo
cratic brethren were to us, in selecting two
candidates, Coinly and Jessup, from that
section. The ticket appears to give salis
fi( ti'in to the whigs iu this 'piutter.
SUNBUHY AMERICAN AND SHAMOKIN JOURNAL.
Tilt PENMSYLVAMA ASM JIBUE lAMf.
l nixi..
The only paper nw In the Slate, not
avowedly Whig, that now opposes Judge
Campbell, is the Stntbiiry American, which
the organ of Gov. Johnston, the llarrisburg
American, call "leading paper" in Ihe
Democratic ranks. We believe the Sunbury
American is Irank enough, not to pretend to
be a Democratic journal. The editor is not
n man la cnnrenl Ids opinions, nnd the way
lit wlririH he ' Iras conducted his paper for
some years past, geoms lo havo been intend
ed to exclude it from being regarded as a po
litical journal at all.
The Pennsylvania!!, from which we
have extracted the above article, affects to
believe that the American does not pre
tend to be a democratic journal. We make
no pretensions it is true, but endeavor to
discharge our duties without fear, favor, or
affection from any quartet". We claim to
be, not only democratic, but independent
in the expression of our opinions, and with
out the latter we conceive there can be no
true democracy. The editor of the Penn
sylvanian does us nothing more than jus
lice, in saying that we are not a man to
conceal our opinions. We wish the edi
tor could say as much for himself and oth
ers who have endorsed the qualifications of
Judge Campbell, from motives that cannot
he sanctioned either by polilcs or good
morals. The conduct of the American is
such that it has prospered beyond our ex-
pectation, and has, we believe, met with
the approbation of all whose good opinion
is deemed of any value. The Pennsylva'
titan will find, however, that the American
is not alone in his views, and that there are
thousands who will not conceal their opin
ions upon a matter of such vital import as
the election of Supreme Judges, as the fol
lowing extracts, from papers whose respec
lability and soundness are beyond reproach,
will establish.
It would be uuxvise and nucandid in is to
attempt to conceal the fact which meet us
at evetv turn, that portions nt ticket pie
sented by the convention, are far from being
salislaetory. II vtl I luster KepuMican.
The ticket is not such as we had a right
lo expect, nor sum as woulil nave been

since tho ticket was announced, but none ns

The only objection we have to Judge
Campbell is that, so far lis we can ascertain,
he ii almost wholly destitute of the requisite
ipialiticatious for the high post tu which he
aspires His vote iu this region will be
very slim. Leicivburg Chronicle.
In what does democracy consist ? Does
it consist in blindly following the dictates
of self constituted leaders, and obeying
their dictation in opposition to reason and
conscience? Does it consist in being
bound by the bonds of parti an organiza
tion and moulding our opinions to suit its
requisitions, changing nnd turning at its
beck ? Is it to advocate doctrines now,
and oppose them when it suits the jHirpo
ses of political costermongers '. Is it to up
hold measures which we believe to he
false, to pursue selfish ends, and to make
use of falsehood, treachery and deceit, to
advance the fortunes and pamper the vanity
ol broken ci..vn party hacks, or to elevate
men to high official stations whom we
know to be unfit and incompetent ? If
this is democracy then we have not been
democratic, and we are proud to say that
such false, hypocritical, parti an democra
cy has never found a resting place for the
sole of its foot in our columns ; nor will it.
We have an ineffable contempt for the sy
chophanl who bows to the decrees of the
leaders, least he falls under their bann and
lose the office his hopes are fixed upon ;
and there are thousands of thein who dare
not call their thoughts their own for fear
ol their masters who have offices to dis
pense. The democracy we profess is that which
lodges the supreme power in the hands of
the people, not under the control of the
few. lie is the true democrat who is bold,
honest, free and independent alike fear
less in the advocacy of truth and exposure
of error. He consults the good of the
whole people, not the exaltation of politi
cal tricksters. He confides in the integrity
and intelligence of the people, and is not
afraid to publish to them the truth, though
it should conflict with and disarrange tlie
plans ol demagogues. He believes the
people can form their own opinions of
men and measures and need no coercion of
partizan lines to bring them to correct ac
tion ; nor would he beguile their confi
dence for selfish purposes. He acts in con
formity with his own opinion, conscien
tiously and without regard to the authority
of men in oflke. Such is the democracy
we avow. Such is the democracy we have
practised. We regard independent thought
and action ns one of the requisites to de
mocracy, and he who counsels or votes in
opposition to his real opinion, either
through fear or to serve any faction or pur
pose, is neither a freeman or a democrat.
The only nominated candidate we ever
opposed was Win. B. Foster, and the voice
of the people showed we were expressing
the will ot the majority. Our course lias
always been independent ; which is more
than the Pennsylvanian, with truth, dare
say. We would at any time prefer the
censure of that paper lo its approbation.
Et" Our Jakey says he don't believe all
the Pennsylvanian says, although t may

VALUE V RAILWAY STOCK.
Persons living in a part of the country
whpre rail roads are scarcely ever seen,
can not be expected to be aware of the
value of mory invested in them. Indeed
until a railroad is in full operation through
their midst, people can not realize its ad'
vantages. It is one of those things which,
though looked at with the eye of firm
est iaith, experience only can teach the
proper appreciation. The extract given
below from the American Rail Road Jour
nal, will fully aliow the value of railway
stock. It is scarcely necessary to remark
that the proposed Susquehanna Rail Road,
traverses a route richer by far in its resour
ces than the road of whose affairs the ex
tract gives an account, and that the amount
of travel through this valley will be equal
to, if not greater, than between Utica and
Schenectady. We ask a carelul examina
tion of the annexed statement.
The t'lica and Schenectady railroad was
put in operation in August, 1836 J from thai

months, Ihe receipts of the road, from pas

EXTRACT OF A LETTER TROUT TIIE l:Il
TOR, DATEII
American Hour.!.,
New York, June 23, 185 1.
There is probably more intercourse be
tween New York and Philadelphia than any
other portion of the United States. The
travel between these two great cities is im
mense. There are no less than tivo or six
daily trains now running over Ihe Cnmden
and Amboy and Ihe New Jersey Kail Roads,
independent of the itcn trado. The route
by Camden awl Amboy is decidedly the
most pleasant, in warm and dusty weather.
The passenger take the splendid steamer
"John Potter" from Amboy to New York,
affording to travetlers a delightful trip up the
New York Bay. The first chiss cars on this
road are the finest 1 ever saw. The panels
contain, hamhotTteIy painted, in oil colors,
the portraits of the different Presidents of
the United States the coat of arms of the
different Slates, and some liamUome land
scapes. The Company spares no expense iu
making ibo travelling publio as comfortable
ns possible. Tho active; and gentlemanly
agent, Wm. A. Gat.mer, must indeed have
his hands full in regulating this complicated
and vast concern.
Philadelphia, to a countryman, appears
bustling and busy enough, but as compared
with the bustle and activity of New Yoik, it
is more like an overgrown inland town. Yet
in my estimation Philadelphia is much lhe
most desirable plae to live in, and is cer
tainly the handsomest city in all respects, in
the I'nion. The amount of travel tu and
from and through New Yoik is enormous.
The railroad cars ami the-sleameis are hourly
bringing immense numbers from every quar
ter. Ilesides, the arrival of steamers and oili
er vessels from foreign ports, are so numer
ous that they are no longer ft novelty. No
less than three steamers arrived here from
Europe within the last six days. Tho Hotels
here are of the best class, am) none more
comfortable I ban the "American.
New York and Pennsylvania after all con
stitute the main body and strength of the
Union. Their example mid course is looked
to and watched wilh no little nnxiely
throughout the Union. Pennsylvania. I trust,
will ever remain true to her principles and
tho compromises of the Constitution. The
contest at Ihe next election in the Keystone
state will be an important and an e.voil inir
one. The deuocratie party has been fortu
nate iu Ihe selection ot its candidate for
Governor. Of his mu-coss theie can be but
little doubt, though he has in the person of i
Uov. Johnston, an able competitor lo contend
with. 1 he .ludiciarv ticket is not so satis
factory iu all its parts. The friends of .lodge
Campbell lely solely upon party ami party
tactics to carry him tliiongh. The leaders
of lhe democracy in Philadelphia have no
wea ol tlie imlepemreiiee ami Iho moial
firmness of the democracy of lhe interior.
They will tiud, however, that they cannot,
in order to promote their own selfish views,
palm upon them a man deemed wholly iu
competent, for lhe dulies of the oliice to
which ho now aspires. The Pennsx lvanian
will yet diseover and learu what true democ
racy is. Tho people will leach him a creed
that will givo him some trouble to digest.
He will havo lo go bark to (ir.-t principles
and learu that ollieers ami olficc hunters are,
or ought to bo lhe servants, not the inasteis
of the people. He will find many, who,
thonah ihey have no opinions to conceal,
will yet silently vole against a candidate,
foisted iqioii the ticket for purposes as on"
holy and unpatriotic, as they are degrading
lo tho character of the party.
XniSKLKss Wheels A Nkw Invention.
In this instance llui invention consists in
Ihe application of a solid band of vulcanized
India rubber over the iroii tire of the wheel.
The India rubber is held in its place by lhe
tire having a raised rim on boih sides, and
by its own elasticity. The band of an ordi
nary carriage wheel is about mi inch and a
half in thickness, and, unless on close in.
Fpection, no difference from tho common
iron-shod wheel is perceptible. We have
diiven some distance iu a carriage wilh the
wheels so shod, ami were struck, not only
with iheir noiselessnes-s, but at the peifect
smoolhnes of the motion but the wheels
being in fact springs, and, by their elastinity
giving a lighter draught than with the iron
lire. We have seen one set of wheels
which havo been diiveu 4000 miles ; they
have here and ll-ere a trilling cut, but show
no appearance of being worn out, and seem
quite capable of another Ihreo or four thou
sand. An iron lire is generally worn out in
3000 miles, so that Ihe Indian rubber lire
has so far proved itself the more lasting. Il
is certainly a luxury of u cairiage lo have il
run without jar or noiso ; and il would be a
universal comfort to have tho wreets and
cities without ihe present incessant rattle of
carriages, omnibuses, &c. Scientific Anrri

preheuded that the entire census will ex.
