Wcare authorized to say.that WILLIAM
COLE will not be a candidate for Com
missioner at the approaching election.
We are also authorised to withdraw the
name df WILLIAM J; IKELER as a can
didat'e for Commissioner.
Against Hie gentlemen upon tho opposi
tion ticket we have nothing to say person
ally they are all men of good standing and
respectability,, and, porhnpsi a better selec
tion could not have been made front their
tanksi Our objections to them are political.,
They are members of a party whose prin
ciples are diametrically opposite to oms.
They advocate measures Which wc cdnsider
at war with the best interests of the state
and nation, arid which, if carried into effect,
will be injurious to their, future prosperity.
It is for these reasons that wc ofipdse ttiein.
In doing bo, wo shall not descend to the
low vulgar slang made use of by others, to
gratify the taste or ill-will of any one; not
even to prevent susnicioni We shall do
our duty, as the editor of a democratic jour
nal, while, at the same time, we sustain the
character of gentlemen. In this we think
tto shall be sustained by tho highminded
and honorable of all parties. It is enougl
for us to say that our ticket is composed of
men whose characters stand equally high
for integrity and respectability with those
of our opponents; with tho additional virtue
of being democrats; which wo corisidcr of
importance at the presont crisis. Between
these two tickets, then, we have no hesttan1
cy in making our choice we oppose the
tone from principle, and support other
through the eamc motive.
kjnTwSET;
We say to our friends sustain the Ticket
iib nominated at Bloom, They are all re
apeciaoio men oi our party and it wo aqvo

,lha whole ticket. Tho "His-h Priest of

oeal of mischief to the union and harmony
bf the patty by striking off such names from

Aim that his whifiling time serving course
is not sanctioned by the democracy of the
upper townships; and that although he may
lor seiMnterest, swerve from the .ticket, yet
vro have the interest of the democratic party
too much at heart to follow his example,

Decides tho question who shall govern !
the destinies of old Democratic Pennsylva
nia for tho next three years' whether it be
PORTER and DEMOCRACY, or RtT-
NER and the FEDERAL BANK SHIN
PLASTER PARTY. Let every demo
crat be at his post, and give his vote for the
Democratic candidato for Goveror, David
R. Porter, and the bbunty ticket as formed
at Bloom. , .
DEMOCRATS LOdk OUT:
The Ritnerites aro at their old tricks of
circulating forged letters from Democratic
islanding Committees, and the State will no
doubt bo flooded on the day of the election
with handbills, containing all manner of
fraudulent and slanderous statements calcu
lated to Injure the election of tho Democrat
ic candidate for' Goverii'orj' General Porter.

that handbills have been seen in the hands
of Ritnor men, purporting to give a circu
lar from 'tho Democratic Slate Central
Commmittce, WITHDRAWING" THE
NAME OF DAVID R. PORTER, and
SUBSTITUTING JUDGE LEWIS
If such are in circulation wc are warranted
in pronouncing them a base forgery. Neither
Gcnl Porter, or his friends have any idea of
withdrawing hib name. He will stand tho
canvass, and be elected too, by an over
whelming majority. We say again, look
out this will not bo tho only altcnipl to
deceive the democracy of the State ; other
and more1 desperate acts will be resorted toj
to defeat the Ddmbcratic Canditatc.

Let every man go to the polk with a de
termination to vote for the Amended Con
slitlitibn. The Aristocracy will oppose it
The democracy snouiu support it. we
say again, remember to Void for tile Amend
ed Constitution.
Every democrat should do his duty on
Tuesday next. One vote may change the
election. Ono single vote may change the
destinies of the whole state tor the next
three years. Then let nd democrat stay a-
way from the polls, but bo on tho ground,
and cast his vote and influence for Porter
and democracy
The investigating committee frdrhSchuyl
kill have returned frpm Huntingdon county
without coming to any mutual understand'
ing with regard to the charges made against
the character of Gen. Porter. The first
charge investigated, was the assertion that
Porter procured the postponement of the
trial in the caso of Porter vs. Campbell, for
a libel, because he dare not come to trial.
After the testimony had been heard, the
Ritner portion of the committee would pri
vatcl'y 'acknowledge that Porter was iitit at
fault, but would not make a public declara-
lion ,to that effect. The democratic portion
of the committee having become satisfied
that their opponents would not acknow
ledge tho truth, under any circumstances
abandoned the joint investigation .as
useless.

' From all parts of the Slate,the news with

Amid the deep and all absorbing excite
ment in relation to the coming election, for
Governor, it would seem that all other sub'
iccts are lost in the vast interest which is ta

adoption of the amendments of the Constitu
lion ot our mate. No man who rcllects
whether Democrat or Federal (for I take it
that there aro but two parties m existence
now for anti-masonry, whigism, Loco Fo
cos &c. &c. all lost sight of,) and the grand
division and denomination ot parties which
began In 170!) now marlc well Hie dtstmc
tion in point of principle as Well as men
but that admits that the present Constitution
is defective, and all admit tlnlt amendments

ties find somd fault with the present amend
ments and change?) in the did one.
Yet it neeins to mo that there is dno a-
jrleiidnlent which must satisfy all parties. It
iu the power of having future amendments
by the united voice of the sovereign people.
And if the convention had done nothing
more it seems to mc that the commonwealth
could well afford to pay the expenses of the
convention. Bitt 1 think there are many df
the alterations, which .must meet the appro
bation of every candid reflecting ' mirid.
Some of those amendments vest more pow
er in the hands ot tlio people, a matter which
is desired by all parties. That provision
which gives to the people the power of elect
ing l'rothonotaries, Kcgisters and Kcqord-
ers, no party objects to, but all admit is a
wise provision. 1 hero are somo other pro
visions m which both parlies agree.
Then let us unite and vote for the amend
ments And if after tiy ing the inllueuce and
effect, of those amendments, they are defect
ive, the remedy is at hand, it'ean be changed
without the tfoublc.expense, and excitement
of an election, and llie assembling of a Con
vention. I havo not time, nor is thero space
in your paper to describe fully all tho vari
dus alterations which must add. much to the
welfare and glory bf our commonwealth. It
is sufficient that both parties agree that
many of the changes will bo bepeficial to the
people, rior will it be possible to ever
frame a Constitution which will please all
if then' a majority are favorable to some
ot the amendments, let every one who wish
es for the prosperity of tho Commonwealth
go to the polls and voto for the Coilslitu
tion.
